Soldiers of the Cross, Arise

Author: William W. How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 6:17 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 the living Word, Let the Savior’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 sign 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; Spread Thy Word in all the world; Let Thy kingdom come, O Lord. Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Used With Tune: GOTT SIE DANK

A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 6:11 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man, whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; they cannot overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? his doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And, though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 2 Are there no foes to me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Sure I must fight if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 3 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar By faith's discerning eye. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry thro' the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
