March On, My Soul, With Strength

Author: William Wright Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength, March forward, void of fear; He who has led will lead, Through each succeeding year; And as you journey on your way, His hand shall hold you day by day. 2 March on, my soul, with strength, In ease you dare not dwell; Your Master calls you forth; Then up, and serve Him well! Take up your cross, take up your sword, And fight the battles of your Lord! 3 March on, my soul, with strength, With strength, but not your own; The conquest you shall gain, Through Christ your Lord alone; His grace shall power your feeble arm, His love preserve you safe from harm. 4 March on, my soul, with strength, From strength to strength march on; Warfare shall end at length, All foes be overthrown. And then, my soul, if faithful now, The crown of life awaits your brow. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH

All Conquering Lord, Whom Sinners Adore

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 All conquering Lord, whom sinners adore, Remember Thy Word, and stir up Thy power; Drive Satan before Thee, His advocates chase: Or let them adore Thee and yield to Thy grace. 2 O pity and spare, and save them from death, Plucked out of his snare, snatched out of his teeth; Almighty Redeemer, to whom all things bow, Cast down the blasphemer, and rescue them now. 3 O why should he take Thy purchase away? Thy fury awake, and fly on the prey; Thy purchase recover, that Satan may feel, Thy kingdom is over earth, Heaven, and hell. 4 O answer the prayer of prevalent faith, In mercy forbear these children of wrath, And give them repentance, let mercy take place, Reverse the sad sentence, and save them by grace.
