Awake, Thou Spirit Bold And Daring

Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

Unto the Lord of All Creation

Author: Ernst William Olson; Arvid August Afzelius Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unto the Lord of all creation Thy voice, my soul, in anthems raise. Let ev'ry heart a fit oblation Bring unto Him with songs of praise. O contemplate in humbleness The pow'r and riches of His grace. 2 In Him we live and have our being; And all the hosts of heav'n and earth The living God, all-wise, all-seeing, Through His own Spirit brought to birth. His holy Name, writ in His Word, Thro' all the universe is heard. 3 The Lord who laid the earth's foundation, And for the stars their course decreed. Whose hand hath ordered all creation, Provideth for our ev’ry need; For God is Love: the Father's care His smallest child shall duly share. 4 And when the morning star appeareth, Thy grace, Thy glory we proclaim; When falls the dew, and evening neareth, O Lord, we call upon Thy Name. Upon Thy mercy we rely, Father, Creator, God on high. Amen. Used With Tune: [Unto the Lord of all creation]

Amen.

Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

Author: Johann Jacob Rambach, 1693-1735 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Thy Name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among Thy seed and chosen host; Buried with Christ, and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me To be henceforth Thy child and heir; My faithful Saviour, Thou dost make me The fruit of all Thy sorrows share, Thou Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me, When darkest clouds around I see. 3 And I have vowed to fear and love Thee, And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; I felt Thy Holy Spirit move me, And freely pledged myself Thine own. Renouncing sin to keep the faith, And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy covenant will e'er abide; Oh, cast me not away forever, Should I transgress it on my side; If I have sore my soul defiled, Yet still forgive, restore Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am, and love most dearly,-- To Thee anew I give the whole; Oh, let me make my vows sincerely, Take full possession of my soul, Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, But keep me faithful to Thine altar, Till Thou shalt call me from my post; So unto Thee I live and die, And praise Thee evermore on high.

Lift Up The Banner Of Salvation

Author: Kauko V. Tamminen, 1882-1945; Hermann H. M. Brueckner Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up the banner of salvation, That white and blood-dyed banner of the cross. Proclaim it wide to every nation: There is redemption from our dreaded loss; The Lamb of God upon the cross was slain That man the promised crown of life might gain. 2 Raise high that banner for each nation, Let every eye behold the Crucified, Whom God before the world’s foundation Had as a ransom for us set aside. Do not this truth from anyone withhold; To all the message of the cross be told. 3 Lift up the banner, tell the story: With Jesus’ blood thou, too, wast dearly bought; Behold, the mighty Lord of glory Complete salvation for us all hath wrought. Poor, weeping soul, be happy and rejoice And praise the Lamb of God with gladsome voice. 4 Then let no other news be spoken, Let everyone the Master’s Word repeat. Why should a man, with promise broken, Proclaim the wisdom of his own conceit? For such a one will nevermore be blest, Since God’s displeasure must upon him rest. 5 Regard us from Thy habitation, For we are erring, blind and poor, O Lord. That wisdom which is our salvation Remains alone with Thine unerring Word, And even this we cannot comprehend If Thou wilt not Thy Spirit’s brightness lend.
