Love seen in trials

Author: William Cowper Appears in 259 hymnals Topics: Cross Bearing; Cross Bearing First Line: 'Tis my happiness below Lyrics: 1 "Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross, But the Saviour's power to know, Sanctifying every loss. 2 Trials must and will befall; But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all, This is happiness to me. 3 God in Israel sows the seeds Of affliction, pain and toil; These spring up and choke the weeds Which would else o'erspread the soil. 4 Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way, Might I not with reason fear I should prove a castaway? 5 Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to his feet, Lay me low, and keep me there.

Jesus, I Will Ponder Now

Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of your suff'ring, pain, and death, That I may not perish. 2 Make me see Your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound you, How you died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned you. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Wrought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of your crucifixion. 4 Let me view your pain and loss With repentant grieving, Nor prepare again your cross By unholy living. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing your praise forever. Used With Tune: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

Author: George Duffield Appears in 1,788 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Bearing First Line: Stand up!--stand up for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Stand up!--stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory His army shall he lead, Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up!--stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day: "Ye that are men, now serve him," Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up!--stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you-- Ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up!--stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day, the noise of battle, The next, the victor's song; To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally!
