Ye servants of the Lord

Author: Philip Doddridge, d. 1751 Appears in 454 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait, Observant of His heavenly Word, And watchful at His gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins, as in His sight, For awful is His Name. 3 Watch! ’tis your Lord’s command, And while we speak, He’s near; Mark the first signal of His hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he, In such a posture found! He shall His Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service Used With Tune: NARENZA

Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts 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 vain 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. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service Used With Tune: GRONINGEN

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, d. 1826 Appears in 837 hymnals 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 met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks their death to feel;-- Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army--men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain! O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen.

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley 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; But take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God, 4 From strength to strength go on, Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day' 5 That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone, And stand entire at last. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service Used With Tune: ST. ETHELWALD

We give Thee but Thine own

Author: William Walsham How Appears in 484 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace,-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

In the hour of trial

Author: James Montgomery; Frances A. Hutton Appears in 486 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me, Lest by base denial, I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its tempting treasures Spread, to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 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. 4 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: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: PENITENCE

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 401 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be! Lead me by Thine own hand; Choose out the path for me. 2 Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. 3 I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might: Choose Thou for me, my God; So shall I walk aright. 4 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. 5 Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small Be Thou my Guide, my Strength, My wisdom and my all. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: QUAM DILECTA

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Appears in 611 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy Word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly. Leaning on thee to go Where thou before hast gone; The rest as Thou shalt please: My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death: My Lord, Thy will be done! Amen.
