Author: J. H. Sammis Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #31 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Thanksgiving First Line: Be up, my soul, and doing Refrain First Line: Study to show thyself approved unto God Lyrics: 1 Be up, my soul, and doing,
Be strong in the Spirit’s might,
A faithful workman showing
Thyself in the Master’s sight.
Refrain:
Study to show thyself approved unto God
A workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
Rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 The shield of truth is o’er Him,
His mail is resistless light,
He’s not ashamed before Him,
Who handles the Word aright. [Refrain]
3 If thou, in the day of glory,
Would stand in His sight approved,
Hold fast the old, old story,
And ne’er from the Rock be moved. [Refrain]
4 The Word of truth dividing,
With prayer unto God its source,
Heed not the world’s deriding,
Hold straight in the Word thy course. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Be up, my soul, and doing]
II Timothy 2:15
