Courageous Lives

Author: Anon. Appears in 235 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Loyalty to Christ First Line: Father, hear the prayer we offer! Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer! Not for ease that prayer shall be, But for strength that we may ever Live our lives courageously. 2 Not forever by still waters Would we idly, quiet stay, But would smite the living fountains From the rocks along our way. 3 Be our strength in hours of weakness, In our wand'rings be our guide; Thro' endeavor, hardships, danger, Father, be Thou at our side. 4 Ours to sow the seed in sorrow, Thine to bid it spring and grow; And the golden days of autumn Will a precious harvest show.

Stand Up for Jesus

Author: Duffield Appears in 1,795 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Loyalty to Christ First Line: Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From vict'ry unto vict'ry. His army shall he lead. Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day: Ye that are men now serve him, Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto pray'r, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally.

They Call Us

Author: Heber Appears in 1,682 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Missions First Line: From Greenland's icy mountains Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What tho' the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Tho' ev'ry prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness, Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we whose souls are lighted, With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted, The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has heard Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, Ye waters, onward roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain Redeemer, King, Creator-- In bliss returns to reign.

But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me.

On the Mountain

They are blooming by th' fountain, Neath the amarinthin' bow'rs. 2 I can see far down the pathway, Where I wandered weary years, Often hindered in my journey By the ghosts of doubts and fears; Broken vows and disappointments Thickly lie along the way; But the Spirit gently led me To the land I hold to-day. 3 I am drinking at the fountain, Where I ever would abide; For I've tasted life's pure river, And my soul is satisfied; There's no thirst for worldly pleasures, Nor adorning rich and gay. For I've found a greater treasure, One that fadeth not away. 4 Is not this the land of Beulah, Blessed land of love and light, Where the flowers blooom forever, And the sun is always bright? Yes, I've reached the land of Beulah, Blessed land of love and light. Here the flowers bloom forever. And the sun is always bright. Used With Tune: DAWNING
