Stand up, my soul; shake off thy fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 374 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my soul; shake off thy fears, And gird the gospel armor on; March to the gates of endless joy, Where thy great Captain Saviour's gone. 2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course; But hell and sin are vanquished foes: Thy Jesus nailed them to the cross, And sung the triumph when he rose. 3 Then let my soul march boldly on, Press forward to the heav'nly gate; There peace and joy eternal reign, And glitt'ring robes for conqu'rors wait. 4 There shall I wear a starry crown, And triumph in almighty grace; While all the armies of the skies Join in my glorious Leader's praise.

What a Friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,698 hymnals Lyrics: 2 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness— Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our Refuge— Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Amen.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 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. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in ev'ry station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
