Soldiers of the cross, arise
Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend
Author: Bp. C. Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #184 (1894) Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend,
And then Thy twelve apostles send;
And bidd'st us pray the harvest's Lord
To send forth sowers of Thy word,
Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless
With seven-fold gifts of holiness.
2 Oh, may Thy pastors faithful be,
Not laboring for themselves, but Thee;
Give grace to feed with wholesome food
The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood;
To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove
How dearly they the Shepherd love!
3 Oh, may Thy people faithful be,
And in Thy pastors honor Thee,
And with them work, and for them pray,
And gladly Thee in them obey;
Receive the prophet of the Lord,
And gain the prophet's own reward!
4 So may we, when our work is done,
Together stand before the throne;
And joyful hearts and voices raise
In one united song of praise,
With all the bright celestial host,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend
Soldiers of the cross, arise!
Author: Bp. W. W. How Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #581 (1894) Topics: The Clergy 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 troubles1 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. Languages: English Tune Title: [Soldiers of the cross, arise]
Soldiers of the cross, arise!
