Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve
Author: Doddridge Appears in 1,053 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve,
And press with vigor on:
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.
3 'Tis God's all animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the prize
To thine aspiring eye.
4 Blest Saviour, introduced by Thee,
Have I my race begun;
And crowned with victory, at Thy feet
I'll lay my honors down. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness and Fidelity; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WILTSHIRE
Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve
Am I a soldier of the Cross
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the Cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 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?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign:
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise
And all Thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness and Fidelity Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
Am I a soldier of the Cross
Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 893 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son;
2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power:
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
4 That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry,
In all His soldiers, "Come,"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And take the conqueror home. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness and Fidelity; Easter Season, Second Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: SILVER STREET
Soldiers of Christ, arise
My soul, be on thy guard
Author: George Heath Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,364 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise,
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor once at ease sit down;
Thine arduous work will not be done,
Till thou receive thy crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness and Fidelity; First Sunday after Trinity; Ninth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
My soul, be on thy guard
Almighty God, in humble prayer

To Thee our souls we lift:
Do Thou our waiting minds prepare
For Thy most needful gift.

Along our path to flow;
We ask not undecaying health,
Nor length of years below.
3 We ask not honors, which an hour
May bring or take away;
We ask not pleasure, pomp, and power,
Lest we should go astray.
4 We ask for wisdom:--Lord, impart
The knowledge how to live;
A wise and understanding heart
To all before Thee give.
5 The young remember Thee in youth,
Before the evil day!
The old be guided by Thy truth
In wisdom's pleasant way! Topics: The Christian Life Wisdom and Self-Knowledge Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

By thine unerring precepts led,
My feet Thy heavenly paths may tread.

My heart shall meditate Thy law;
And, with celestial wisdom filled,
To Thee its full obedience yield.
3 Give me to know Thy will aright,
Thy will, my glory and delight;
That, raised above the world, my mind
In Thee its highest good may find.
4 O turn from vanity my eye;
To me Thy quickening strength supply;
And with Thy promised mercy cheer
A heart devoted to Thy fear. Topics: The Christian Life Wisdom and Self-Knowledge; Eighth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: GERMANY
Teach me, O teach me, Lord, Thy way

Author: Watts Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away from every mortal care,
Away from earth, our souls retreat;
We leave this worthless world afar,
And wait and worship near Thy seat.

We bow before Thee and adore;
We view the glories of Thy face,
And learn the wonders of Thy power.
3 Whilst here our various wants we mourn,
United prayers ascend on high;
And faith expects a sure return
Of blessings in variety.
4 Father! my soul would still abide;
Or, if my feet must hence depart,
Still keep me, Father, near Thy side,
Still keep Thy dwelling in my heart. Topics: Worship Public Worship Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart,
Poor in spirit, meek in heart,
I shall as my Master be,
Clothéd with humility.
2 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Changed into a little child,
Pleased with all the Lord provides,
Weaned from all the world besides.
3 Father, fix my soul on Thee;
Every evil let me flee:
Nothing want beneath, above,
Happy in Thy precious Love.

Every good in Christ combined!
Him let Israel still adore,
Trust Him, praise Him evermore. Topics: The Christian Life Simplicity and Humility; Eighth Sunday after Trinity; Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 131 Used With Tune: VIENNA

Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue.

Be witnessed by each rolling sun.

Wise, beneficent, and kind!
Spread o'er nature's ample face,
Flows Thy goodness unconfined.

At Thine altars when we bow?
Grateful loving hearts, the spring
Whence the kind affections flow:

Bind the wounded, feed the poor;
Love, embracing all our kind;
Charity, with liberal store.
4 Teach us, O Thou heavenly King,
Thus to show our grateful mind;
Thus the accepted offering bring,
Love to Thee and all mankind. Topics: The Christian Life Benevolence; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: PLEYEL
