Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #465 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Commitment; Commitment Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow you.
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
You on earth once suffered, too.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've ever hoped or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
You are not, like them, untrue.
And since you have smiled upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me --
Show your face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In your service pain is pleasure;
With your favor loss is gain.
I have called you Abba, Father!
You my all in all shall be.
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather;
All must work for good to me.
4 Haste, my soul, from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer.
All but heav'n is transitory;
God's own hand shall guide you there.
Soon shall end this earthly story;
Swift shall pass the pilgrim days,
Hope soon change to heav'nly glory,
Faith to sight and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

That leads the soul away from God,
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine:
To live and die entirely thine.
2 In Christ, by faith, I wish to live,
From him my life, my all, receive,
To him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve him alone with all my pow'rs.
3 Christ is my everlasting all.
To him I look; on him I call.
He will my ev'ry want supply
In time and through eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ; to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through ev'ry golden street
And sing on ev'ry blissful plain,
"To live is Christ; to die is gain." Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

Live in me from day to day,
By his love and pow'r inspiring

In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through his pow'r.
3 May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in ev'rything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.
4 May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea,
Him exalting, self abasing --
This is victory!

Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
6 May his spirit live within me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only him. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD’S

God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
Author: Martin Luther; Michael A. Perry Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #468 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Topics: Commitment & Dedication; Commitment & Dedication Lyrics: 1 God is our fortress and our rock,
our mighty help in danger;
he shields us from the battle's shock
and thwarts the devil's anger;
for still the prince of night
prolongs evil's fight;
he uses all skill
to work his wicked will;
no earthly force is like him.
2 Our hope is fixed on Christ alone,
the Man of God's own choosing;
without him nothing can be won
and fighting must be losing;
so let the powers accursed
come try do their worst;
Christ Jesus shall ride
to battle at our side,
and he shall have the victory.
3 The word of God will not be slow
while demon hordes surround us,
though evil strike its cruelest blow
and death and hell confound us:
for though we meet distress,
lose all we possess;
those planning our ill
may ravage, wreck, or kill;
God's kingdom is immortal!

To greet them with this triumph song:
Your will be done.
2 Draw from my timid eyes the veil
To show, where earthly forces fail,
Your pow'r and love must still prevail--
Your will be done.
3 With confident and humble mind
In service freedom I will find,
Praying through ev'ry toil assigned:
Your will be done.
4 What seems impossible I dare;
Yours is the call and yours the care.
Your wisdom shall the way prepare--
Your will be done.
5 Heav'n's music chimes the glad days in;
Hope soars beyond death, pain, and sin;
Faith shouts in triumph, Love must win--
Your will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST KEIN TAG

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #469 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Commitment & Dedication; Commitment & Dedication Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4 That Word above all earthly powers–
no thanks to them– abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!
Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (ISORHYTHMIC)

From your sleep awaken!
Be not by the evil day
Unawares o'ertaken.
For the foe, Well we know,
Is a harvest reaping
While the saints are sleeping.
2 Watch! Let not the wicked world
With its lies defeat you
Lest with bold deceptions hurled
It betray and cheat you.
Watch and see Lest there be
Faithless friends to charm you
Who but seek to harm you.
3 Watch against yourself, my soul,
Lest with grace you trifle;
Let not self your thoughts control
Nor God's mercy stifle.
Pride and sin Lurk within,
All your hopes to shatter;
Heed not when they flatter.
4 But while watching also pray
To the Lord unceasing.
God protects you day by day,
Strength and faith increasing,
So that still Mind and will
Shall unite to serve him
And forever love him. Languages: English Tune Title: STRAF MICH NICHT
Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray
