Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 404 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be done;
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint.
3 The mighty god, whose matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young,
And firm endures while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a full supply;
While such as trust their native strength,
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amid the heavenly road. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; The Heavenly Race

anoint with power from heaven above
whenever gospel truth is heard.
3 Let darkness turn to radiant light,
confusion vanish from your path;
those who are weak inspire with might:
let mercy triumph over wrath!
4 O Spirit of our God, prepare
the whole wide world the Lord to meet;
breathe out new life, like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.

and every race declare him Lord! Amen. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Evangelism; Holy Spirit gifts of; Holy Spirit inspiration of; Holy Spirit Invocation of; Jesus coming again; Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit; Renewal; The Church's Ministry and Mission Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL

Jesus, the name high over all
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the name high over all,
in hell, or earth, or sky;
angels and mortals prostrate fall,
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus, the pris'ner's fetters breaks,
and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O, that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.
5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
6 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp his name;
preach him to all, and cry in death:
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
'Behold, behold the Lamb!' Topics: Easter; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Year A Christ the King Used With Tune: LYDIA

Let Zion's watchman all awake
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 272 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:16 Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen all awake,
And take th' alarm they give;
Now let them from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands,
But what might fill an angel's heart,
And fill'd a Saviour's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego--
For souls which must forever live
In rapture or in woe.
4 May they that Jesus whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see;
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

who ran this earthly race
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
your praises sound,
as in God's sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.

adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
in God rejoice,
and thus proclaim
the holy name
with sounding voice.

triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love!
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er God send,
be filled with praise. Topics: Angels; Communion of Saints; Funeral; Michael, the Archangel; Praise of God Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
