"Shall we forget"
Author: William Mitchell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #195 (1888) Topics: Constancy First Line: Jesus! thy love shall we forget Lyrics: 1 Jesus! thy love shall we forget,
And never bring to mind
The grace that paid our hopeless debt,
And bade us pardon find?
2 Shall we thy life of grief forget,
Thy fasting and thy prayer;
Thy locks with mountain vapors wet,
To save us from despair?
3 Gethsemane can we forget--
Thy struggling agony
When night lay dark on Olivet,
And none to watch with thee?
4 Our sorrows and our sins were laid
On thee, alone on thee;
Thy precious blood our ransom paid--
Thine all the glory be!
5 Life's brightest joys we may forget--
Our kindred cease to love;
But he who paid our hopeless debt,
Our constancy shall prove. Scripture: Luke 22:44 Languages: English Tune Title: HELENA

We Who Would Valiant Be

We Who Would Valiant Be
He Who Would Valiant Be
Author: John Bunyan Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #603 (1990) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: Constancy Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'gainst all disaster,
let him in constancy
follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Who so beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound–
his strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might;
though he with giants fight,
he will make good his right
to be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
us with thy Spirit,
we know we at the end
shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
to be a pilgrim.
Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DUNSTAN'S
He Who Would Valiant Be
Here at thy Cross, my dying God
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.IV (1766) Topics: Constance in the Gospel; Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Here at thy Cross, my dying God,
I lay my Soul beneath thy Love,
Beneath the Droppings of thy Blood,
Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove.
2 Not all that Tyrants think or say,
With Rage and Lightning in their Eyes,
Nor Hell shall fright my Heart away,
Should Hell with all its Legions rise.
3 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence,
Moveless and firm this Heart should lie;
Resolv'd (for that's my last Defence)
If I must perish, there to die.
4 But speak, my Lord, and calm my Fear;
Am I not safe beneath thy Shade?
Thy Vengeance will not strike me here,
Nor Satan dares my Soul invade.
5 Yes, I'm secure beneath thy Blood,
And all my Foes shall lose their Aim:
Hosanna to my dying God,
And my best Honours to his Name. Languages: English
Here at thy Cross, my dying God
Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn?
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XIV (1766) Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn?
'Tis God that justifies their Souls,
And Mercy, like a mighty Stream,
O'er all their Sins divinely rolls.
2 Who shall adjudge the Saints to Hell?
'Tis Christ that suffer'd in their Stead;
And, the Salvation to fulfil
Behold him rising from the Dead.
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his Love,
Or what should tempt us to despair?
4 Shall Persecution, or Distress,
Famine, or Sword, or Nakedness?
He that hath lov'd us bears us through,
And makes us more than Conqu'rors too.
5 Faith hath an overcoming Pow'r,
It triumphs in the dying Hour:
Christ is our Life, our Joy, our Hope,
Nor can we sink with such a Prop.
6 Not all that Men on Earth can do,
Nor Pow'rs on high, nor Pow'rs below,
Shall cause his Mercy to remove,
Or wean our Hearts from Christ our Love. Scripture: Romans 8:33-39 Languages: English
Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn?
Let me but hear my Saviour say
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XV (1766) Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Saviour say,
Strength shall be equal to thy Day;
Then I rejoice in deep Distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient Grace.
2 I glory in Infirmity,
That Christ's own Pow'r may rest on me;
When I am weak, then am I strong,
Grace is my Shield, and Christ my Song.
3 I can do all Things, or can bear
All Suff'rings, if my Lord be there;
Sweet Pleasures mingle with the Pains
While his Left-Hand my Head sustains.
4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the Work alone;
When new Temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our Weakness is.
5 So Sampson, when his Hair was lost,
Met the Philistines to his Cost;
Shook his vain Limbs with sad Surprize,
Made feeble Fight, and lost his Eyes. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Languages: English
Let me but hear my Saviour say
Awake, our Souls, away our Fears
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XLVIII (1766) Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Awake our Souls, (away our Fears,
Let ev'ry trembling Thought be gone)
Awake, and run the heav'nly Race,
And put a chearful Courage on.
2 True, 'tis a straight and thorny Road,
And mortal Spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
That feeds the Strength of ev'ry Saint.
3 O mighty God, whose matchless Pow'r
Is ever new, and ever young,
And firm endures, while endless Years
Their everlasting Circles run.
4 From Thee, the overflowing Spring,
Our Souls shall drink a fresh Supply,
While such as trust their native Strength,
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an Eagle cuts the Air,
We'll mount aloft to thine Abode;
On Wings of Love our Souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heav'nly Road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31 Languages: English
Awake, our Souls, away our Fears
When I can read my Title clear
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXV (1766) Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 When I can read my Title clear
To Mansions in the Skies,
I bid Farewel to ev'ry Fear,
And wipe my weeping Eyes.
2 Should Earth against my Soul engage,
And hellish Darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's Rage,
And face a frowning World.
3 Let Cares like a wild Deluge come,
And Storms of Sorrow fall;
May I but safely reach my Home,
My God, my Heav'n my All.
4 There shall I bathe my weary Soul
In Seas of heav'nly Rest;
And not a Wave of Trouble roll
Across my peaceful Breast. Languages: English
When I can read my Title clear
God, my King, thy might confessing
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #2 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Constancy Lyrics: 1 God, my King, thy might confessing,

Who his majesty can reach?

And proclaim thy sovereign pow'r.
