Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: Resurrection of Believers Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a foll'wer 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 through 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, though they die;
they view the triumph from afar,
and seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
and all thine armies shine
in robes of vict'ry through the skies,
the glory shall be thine.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:3 Used With Tune: MARLOW

Lo! he comes, with clouds descending
Author: Martin Madan; John Cennick; Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 768 hymnals Topics: Resurrection of Believers Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment! Come to judgment!
Come to judgment, come away!
4 Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the day of God appear!
5 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
O come quickly; O come quickly;
Alleluia! come, Lord, come.
Amen. Scripture: Genesis 1:3-31; 2; 3; 4; 5 Used With Tune: HOLYWOOD

herald brightness slowly swells:
coming! O my glorious Priest,
hear we not thy golden bells?

we shall meet thee on thy way,
we shall see thee, we shall know thee,
we shall bless thee, we shall show thee

what an anthem that will be,
ringing out our love to thee,
pouring out our rapture sweet
at thine own all-glorious feet.

brought to thee with glad accord;

vindicated and enthroned;
unto earth's remotest end
glorified, adored, and owned.

"We are confident"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.
2 Are we not tending upward, too,
As fast as time can move?
Nor would we wish the hours more slow,
To keep us from our love.
3 Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb?
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And scattered all the gloom.
4 The graves of all the saints he blessed,
And softened every bed;
Where should the dying members rest,
But with the dying Head?
5 Thence he arose, ascending high,
And showed our feet the way:
Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly
At the great rising-day.
6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise;
Awake! ye nations under ground;
Ye saints! ascend the skies. Used With Tune: CHINA

Life from the dead is in that word;
'Tis immortality.
Here, in the body pent,
Absent from thee I roam:
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul! how near,
At times, to faith's aspiring eye,
Thy golden gates appear!
"For ever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of thy gracious word
Ev'n here to me fulfill.
3 So, when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!" Used With Tune: NEARER HOME

What need I, that is not in thee?
Full pardon, strength to meet the day,
And peace which none can take away.

'Tis sweet to know that thou art near;
Am I with dread of justice tried,
'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.
3 In life, thy promises of aid
Forbid my heart to be afraid;
In death, peace gently vails the eyes,
Christ rose, and I shall surely rise. Used With Tune: PARK STREET

From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.

Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
