Revive thy work, O Lord, Create soul thirst for thee; And hungering for the Bread of life, O may our spirits be! 412 Revive thy work, O Lord, Exalt thy precious Name; And, by the Holy Ghost, our love For thee and thine inflame. Revive thy work, O Lord, And give refreshing showers; The glory shall be all thine own, The blessing, Lord, be ours. Amen. Used With Tune: SWABIA

Soldiers of the cross, arise!

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise! Gird you with your armor bright! Mighty are your enemies, Hard the battle ye must fight. 2 O'er a faithless fallen world, Raise your banner in the sky! Let it float there wide unfurled! Bear it onward! lift it high! 3 'Mid the homes of want and woe, Strangers to a living Word, Let the Saviour's herald go! Let the voice of hope be heard! 4 Where the shadows deepest lie, Carry truth's unsullied ray! Where are crimes of blackest dye, There the saving sight display! 5 To the weary and the worn Tell of realms where sorrows cease! To the outcast and forlorn Speak of mercy and of peace! 6 Guard the helpless! seek the strayed! Comfort troubles! banish grief! In the might of God arrayed, Scatter sin and unbelief! 7 Be the banner still unfurled, Still unsheathed the Spirit's sword, Till the kingdoms of the world Are the kingdom of the Lord! Amen.

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 237 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a guest; Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without thy grace we waste away, Like flowers that wither and decay. To heal the sick stretch out thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. All praise, eternal Son, to thee, Whose Advent set thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Thou say'st, Take up thy cross

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: Thou say'st, "Take up thy cross, O man, and follow me"; The night is black, the feet are slack, Yet we would follow thee. But, O dear Lord, we cry, That we thy face could see, Thy blessèd face one moment's space, Then might we follow thee! Dim tracts of time divide Those golden days from me; Thy voice comes strange o'er years of change; How can I follow thee? Comes faint and far thy voice From vales of Galilee; Thy vision fades in ancient shades; How should we follow thee? O heavy cross: of faith In what we cannot see! As once of yore thyself restore, And help to follow thee. If not as once thou cam'st In true humanity, Come yet as guest within the breast That burns to follow thee. Within our heart of hearts In nearest nearness be: Set up thy throne within thine own: Go, Lord; we follow thee. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
