God of my life, to Thee I call!

Hymnal: BWHT1899 #523b (1899) Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call! Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor! 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee. And Thou refuse that mourner's plea? Does not Thy word still fixed remain, That none shall seek Thy face in vain! 4 Poor though I am--despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

In the hour of trial

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: BWHT1899 #524 (1899) Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial, I depart from Thee; When Thou see'st me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe; Or should pain attend me On my path below; Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. 3 When my last hour cometh, Fraught with strife and pain, When my dust returneth To the dust again; On Thy truth relying Through that mortal strife, Jesus, take me, dying, To eternal life. Amen. Topics: Care; Consolation; Temptation; Trials Prayer in; Trust In Christ Languages: English Tune Title: PAROLE

Must Jesus bear the cross alone

Author: Thomas Shepherd Hymnal: BWHT1899 #525 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? No, there's a cross for everyone, And there's a cross for me. 2 How happy are the saints above, Who once went sorrowing here; But now they taste unmingled love, And joy without a tear. 3 The consecrated cross I'll bear Till death shall set me free, And then go home my crown to wear, For there's a crown for me. 4 Upon the crystal pavement, down At Jesus' piercèd feet, Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown, And His dear Name repeat.

So let our lips and lives express

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #526 (1899) Lyrics: 1 O let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine.! 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God, When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth and love, Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessèd hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on His word. Amen.

If God be on my side

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: BWHT1899 #528 (1899) Lyrics: 1 If God be on my side, Then let who will oppose, For oft ere now to Him I cried, And He hath quelled my foes. If Jesus be my Friend, If God doth love me well, What matters all my foes intend, Tho' strong they be and fell. Refrain: If God be on my side, If Jesus be my Friend, I'm sure He always will provide, And guide me to the end. 2 Here I can firmly rest, I dare to boast of this That God the Highest and the Best My Friend and Father is. From dangerous snares He saves Where'er He bids me go, He checks the storms and calms the waves, Nor lets aught work me woe. [Refrain] 3 I rest upon the ground Of Jesus and His blood, For 'tis through Him that I have found The True Eternal Good. Nought have I of mine own, Nought in the life I lead, What Christ hath given me, that alone Is worth all love indeed. [Refrain] Amen.

Saviour, Thy dying love

Author: Sylvanus D. Phelps Hymnal: BWHT1899 #529 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, Thy dying love Thou gavest me: Nor should I aught withhold, Dear Lord, from Thee: In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfill its vow, Some offering bring Thee now, Something for Thee. 2 O'er the blest mercy-seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to Thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer, Something for Thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart-- Likeness to Thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wanderer sought and won, Something for Thee. 4 All that I am and have-- Thy gifts so free-- In joy, in grief, through life, Dear Lord, for Thee: And when Thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be, Through all eternity, Something for Thee.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: BWHT1899 #530 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below-- He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They climbed the dizzy steep to heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen.

Stand up, ye soldiers

Author: George Duffield Hymnal: BWHT1899 #531 (1899) 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! Amen.
