We shout thy conquering name;
Legions of foes beset thee round,
And legions fled with shame.

Thou by thy death didst gain;
So in thy cause may we contend,
And death itself sustain!
3 By our illustrious general fir'd,
We no extremes would fear;
Prepar'd to struggle and to bleed,
If you, our Lord, be near.
4 We'll trace the footsteps then hast drawn
To triumph and renown;
Nor shun thy combat and thy cross,
May we but share thy crown. Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:12

The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art,
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what is it,
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou,
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity!

On Thy people pour Thy power;
Crown Thine ancient Church's story;
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.

Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure Thy children's warring madness,
Bend our pride to Thy control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss Thy Kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss Thy Kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
Gird our lives that they may be
Armored with all Christlike graces
In the fight to set men free.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
That we fail not man nor Thee!
That we fail not man nor Thee!
5 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the search for Thy salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving Thee whom we adore,
Serving Thee whom we adore.

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Hope and Expectation Lyrics: 1 With solemn joy we come, dear Lord,
To make our vows this day;
We find in Thee our Hope, our Life,
Thou art the living Way.

Thy gift was shed from heav'n,
When at the sacred font of life
Our souls to Thee were giv'n.
3 And thro'h the years Thy wondrous grace
Has followed all the way;
Thy love has never let us go,
Though we are prone to stray.
4 Forgive, dear Lord, each fault and stain,
And cleanse our hearts from sin;
Help us to walk in humble faith,
And keep us pure within.
5 O precious Saviour, Thine we are,
Thy Name we would confess;
Thy Spirit pour into our hearts,
Our youthful lives to bless.
6 O keep us faithful, keep us true,
And seal us for Thine own,
That we may stand at last with joy
Before Thy great white throne!
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. PETER
