O Christ, I Will Endeavor
Author: H. T. Mark Hymnal: The Endeavor Hymnal #157 (1901) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1. O Christ, I will endeavor
To serve Thee day by day;
Help me to make Thee ever
My Life, my Truth, my Way.
When in my breast Thou burnest,
My thot's grow pure and bright,
My words are calm and earnest,
And all seems good and right.
2. Go with me, God my Saviour,
Go with me ev'ry hour;
Control my whole behavior
By Thy full Spirit's pow'r.
Uplift, and heal, and gladden,
Myself and others, Lord;
May nought that's in me sadden
Those here that love Thy word.
3. Why should I not be willing
To serve Thee with my days,
When Thou art ever filling
My soul with joy and praise?
Why should I not show others
The Light divine in Thee?
Why should not all my brothers
See what Thou art to me? Languages: English Tune Title: LYMINGTON

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Concordia #168 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
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 flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vain 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, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON
Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Jesus, I my Cross have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Concordia #171 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my All shall be:
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and 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;
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me:
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me,
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal days before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMN

Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ABENDS

Holy Spirit, Lord of Glory
Author: Robert Hall Baynes Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #254 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, Lord of glory,
Look on us Thy flock to-day;
Meekly kneeling at Thy footstool
For Thy sev'n-fold gifts we pray;
Guide us all our earthly journey
In the true and narrow way.
2 Foes on ev'ry hand are round us,
And our hearts are weak and frail;
Gird us with Thy heav'nly armor;
Never let us yield or quail;
Give us vict'ry in the struggle
When the hosts of sin assail.
3 Lead us by Thy guiding presence
Through the waste, with danger rife;
Feed us with the heavenly manna,
That we faint not in the strife;
Slake the thirst of weary spirits
From the living well of life.
4 Looking ever unto Jesus,
Leaning on His staff and rod,
May we follow in His footsteps,
Tread the path that He has trod,
Till we dwell with Him forever
In the Paradise with God.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DULCE CARMEN

At the altar I record.

Wholly rest upon Thine arm;
Follow wholly Thy directing,

In The church’s ordered way;
Let me feel Thy confirmation
In Thy truth and fear today:

Hope in danger, joy in grief,
Now and evermore remaining
Steadfast in the true belief,
Resting in my Saviour’s merit,
Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength,
With Thy church I may inherit
All my Father’s joy at length. Languages: English Tune Title: MIGHTY LORD, VICTORIOUS SAVIOUR!

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.

With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:

And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

Wrestle, and fight, and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

In all His soldiers, "Come,"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And takes the conquerors home.

Never in a costly palace did I rest on golden bed
Author: Dr. Henry van Dyke, 1852- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #397 (1917) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Never in a costly palace did I rest on golden bed,
Never in a hermit's cavern have I eaten idle bread.
Born within a lowly stable, where the cattle round Me stood,
Trained a carpenter in Naz'reth, I have toiled and found it good.
2 They who tread the path of labour follow where My feet have trod;
They who work without complaining, do the holy will of God;
Nevermore thou needest seek Me; I am with thee everywhere;
Raise the stone, and thou shalt find Me, cleave the wood and I am there.
3 Where the many toil together, there am I among My own;
Where the tired workman sleepeth, there am I with him alone.
I, the peace that passeth knowledge, dwell amid the daily strife;
I, the Bread of heav'n, am broken in the sacrament of life.
4 Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done to man, is done to Me.
Nevermore thou needest seek Me; I am with thee everywhere;
Raise the stone, and thou shalt find Me, cleave the wood and I am there. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER
