Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 893 hymnals Topics: Christian Vocation and Pilgrimage 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,
and 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 complete at last.
Used With Tune: SILVER STREET

Author: George Duffield, Jr., 1818-1888 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,788 hymnals Topics: Christian Vocation and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss:
from victory unto victory
his army shall he lead,
till every foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up, for Jesus;
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day:
ye that are his now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up, for Jesus;
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own:
put on the Gospel armor,
and watching unto prayer,
when duty calls, or danger,
be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up, for Jesus:
the strife will not be long:
this day, the noise of battle;
the next, the victor's song.
To valiant hearts triumphant,
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.

see, his banners go.

Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before!

Satan's host doth flee;
on then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!

at the shout of praise;
Christians, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise. [Refrain]

moves the Church of God;
Christians, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
we are not divided,
all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. [Refrain]

kingdoms rise and wane,
but the Church of Jesus
constant will remain;
gates of hell can never
'gainst that Church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise,
and that cannot fail. [Refrain]
5 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng;
blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song:
glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
this through countless ages
we with angels sing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
Onward, Christian soldiers
O Grant Us, God, a Little Space
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Work and Vocation Lyrics: 1 O grant us, God, a little space
from daily tasks set free.
We meet within this holy place
and find security.
2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
of business, toil, and care,
And scarcely can we turn aside
for one brief hour of prayer.
3 Yet this is not the only place
your presence may be found;
On daily work you shed your grace,
and blessings all around.
4 Yours are the workplace, home, and mart,
the wealth of sea and land;
The worlds of science and of art
are fashioned by your hand.
5 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
as you would have it done;
And prayer, by you inspired and taught,
shall then with work be one.

only let me walk with thee.

may I enter, Lord, with thee.

close to thee, close to thee;

may I enter, Lord, with thee. Used With Tune: CLOSE TO THEE

lead thou me on;
the night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone,
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost a while. Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: SANDON

yet possessing every blessing,

2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us:
all our weakness thou dost know;
thou didst tread this earth before us,
thou didst feel its keenest woe;
lone and dreary, faint and weary,
through the desert thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
love with every passion blending,
pleasure that can never cloy:
thus provided, pardoned, guided,
nothing can our peace destroy. Used With Tune: MANNHEIM
