Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #546 (1987) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Warfare, Spiritual; Warfare, Spiritual Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
3 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.
4 I only stand unbent
amid the clashing strife
when on thy bosom I have leaned
and found in thee my life.

till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords' loud clashing
or roll of stirring drums–
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal;
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears.
Your cross is lifted o'er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

his army shall he lead,

and Christ is Lord indeed.

in this, his glorious day.

against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and all God's foes oppose.

stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
you dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never failing there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the fight will not be long
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor's song.
To every one who conquers,
a crown of life shall be;
we with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.

still walking in your captain's sight
and keeping watch with prayer.

tread all the powers of darkness down
and win the well-fought day,

and all your conflicts past,
you overcome through Christ alone
and stand complete at last.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #594 (1987) Meter: Irregular Topics: Warfare, Spiritual; Warfare, Spiritual Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out
as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where'er the church has gone,
by the mouth of many messengers
the call of God has come:
Give ear to me, you continents;
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world:
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is done in vain
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvesttide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.

Author: Arthur C. Coxe (1818-1896) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #617 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christan Life Christian Warfare Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling– To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations, Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? Is creation Groaning for her latter day?
2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict, Nerve thee for the battlefield;
Bear the helmet of salvation, And the mighty gospel shield;
Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee, Take the Spirit’s sword in hand;
Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then, In Jehovah’s strength to stand.
3 And the prince of evil spirits, Great deceiver of the world!
He who at the blessed Jesus Once his deadly weapons hurled,
Cometh with unwonted power, Knowing that his reign will cease
When the kingdom shall be given To the mighty Prince of Peace.
4 Christians, rouse! fight in this warfare, Cease not till the victory’s won;
Till your Captain loud proclaimeth, “Servant of the Lord, well done!”
He, alone, who thus is faithful, Who abideth to the end,
Hath the promise, in the kingdom An eternity to spend. Tune Title: THE ALARM (56531)

Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross
Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #622 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross;
The moment soon will come
When you shall lay your armor off,
And reach your blissful home.
The pearly gates will wide unfold
Before our conquering King,
And entering hosts, with harps of gold,
Triumphantly shall sing.
2 What though the warfare be severe,
And enemies be strong;
And painful watchings, dark and drear,
The tedious night prolong;
Our Captain passed this way before,
And felt each cruel sting:
Courage! the strife will soon be o'er,
And then with joy we'll sing.
3 Many a soldier in this strife,
Has nobly bled and died,
Counting it joy to give his life
For Him once crucified.
And when our Captain comes again,
Those from the dead he'll bring;
And they with us, and we with them,
Triumphantly will sing.
4 O, 'twill be joy, but to behold
That glad immortal throng
Enter and walk the streets of gold,
And sing the victor's song!
To see that host and hear that song,
Must joy ecstatic bring;
But those who will may join that throng,
With them you too may sing. Tune Title: COURAGE
Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross

When we pass through yonder river

All our conflicts then shall cease,
Followed by eternal peace.

Oh, how sweet the prospect is!
Though we toil and strive at present,
Let us not repine at this:
Toil and pain and conflict past,
All endear repose at last.

When we touch the heavenly shore,--
Blessed thought!--no hostile legions
Can alarm or trouble more:
Far beyond the reach of foes,
We shall dwell in sweet repose.

'Tis his people's blessed reward;
In the Saviour's strength victorious,
They at length behold their Lord:
In his kingdom they shall rest,
In his love be fully blest.

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 sail'd thro' 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 tho' they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine,
In robes of victory thro' the skies,
The glory shall be thine.

Awake my soul, lift up thine eyes
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CIII (1789) Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues The Christian Warfare Lyrics: 1 Awake my soul, lift up thine eyes;
See where thy foes against thee rise,
In long array, a numerous host;
Awake my soul, or thou art lost.

And fierce desires and lusts engage;
The meanest foe of all the train
Has thousands and ten thousands slain.
3 Thou tread'st upon enchanted ground,
Perils and snares beset thee round;
Beware of all, guard every part,
But most the traitor in thy heart.
4 Come, then, my soul, now learn to wield
The weight of thine immortal shield;
Put on the armour from above
Of heavenly truth and heavenly love.
5 The terror and the charm repel,
And powers of earth, and powers of hell;
Thy Man of Calv'ry triumph'd here;
Why should his faithful followers fear? Languages: English

In virtue, love and zeal likewise,
Until I conquer ev'ry foe
Of those who daily in me rise.
2 My unbelief, my pride and lust,
My merits and self-righteousness;
My worthless props to which I trust,
How oft do they destroy my peace!

They strive to bring me down to yield;
They strive to take my crown of life,
And fain would slay me in the field.
4 But Lord, supported by thy hand,
I shall be able to endure,
Against all such attacks to stand,
And banish Satan with his pow'r.
5 Grant me my Lord that living faith,
By which I stand for ever fast;
And though I fight the pow'rs of death,
Yet I shall conquer all at last. Languages: English
O May my soul increase and grow
