I know that my Redeemer lives

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 470 hymnals Used With Tune: ANTIOCH

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great, Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 High as the heav’ns are raised, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace, Our highest thoughts exceed. 3 His pow’r subdues our sins, And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove.

My Christian friends, in bonds of love

Author: John Blain Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 151 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My Christian friends, in bonds of love, Whose hearts in sweetest union join, Your friendship’s like a drawing band, Yet we must take the parting hand. Your company’s sweet, your union dear, Your words delightful to my ear; Yet when I see that we must part You draw like cords around my heart. 2. How sweet the hours have passed away Since we have met to sing and pray; How loath we are to leave the place Where Jesus shows His smiling face. Oh could I stay with friends so kind, How would it cheer my drooping mind! But duty makes me understand That we must take the parting hand. 3. And since it is God’s holy will, We must be parted for a while, In sweet submission, all as one, We’ll say, our Father’s will be done. My youthful friends, in Christian ties, Who seek for mansions in the skies, Fight on, we’ll gain that happy shore, Where parting will be known no more. 4. How oft I’ve seen your flowing tears, And heard you tell your hopes and fears! Your hearts with love were seen to flame, Which makes me hope we’ll meet again. Ye mourning souls, lift up your eyes To glorious mansions in the skies; Oh trust His grace — in Canaan’s land We’ll no more take the parting hand. 5. And now, my friends, both old and young, I hope in Christ you’ll still go on; And if on earth we meet no more, Oh may we meet on Canaan’s shore. I hope you’ll all remember me If on earth no more I see; An int’rest in your prayers I crave, That we meet beyond the grave. 6. Oh glorious day! Oh blessed hope! My soul leaps forward at the thought When, on that happy, happy land, We’ll no more take the parting hand. But with our blessed holy Lord We’ll shout and sing with one accord, And there we’ll all with Jesus dwell, So, loving Christians, fare you well. Used With Tune: PARTING HAND

Am I a soldier of the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,944 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Am I a soldier of the cross, A follow’r of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? Must I be carried to the skies On flow’ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? 2. Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord, I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word.

So fades the lovely blooming flow'r

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely blooming flow’r, Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again, Hope wipes the tear from sorrow’s eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

Life is the time to serve the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord, The time t’insure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn The vilest sinner may return. 2 Life is the hour that God has giv’n, To escape hell and fly to heav’n; The day of grace, and mortals may Secure the blessing of the day. 3 The living know that they must die, But all the dead forgotten lie; Their mem’ry and their sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown.
