Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #507b (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies Thro' His eternal Son; 2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in His mighty power: Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. 3 Stand then in His great might, With all His strength endued; But take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God: 4 That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome throough Christ alone And stand entire at last. 5 From strength to strength go on; Wrestle and fight and pray: Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day. 6 Still let the Spirit cry, In all his soldiers, "Come," Till Christ the Lord descends from high, And takes the conqueror home.

I would not live alway: I ask not to stay

Author: William Augustus Mühlenberg, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #516 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er our way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of salvation with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom: There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God? Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns; 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet: While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul!

My soul, repeat His praise

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a367 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 3 His grace subdues our sins, And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 4 The pity of the Lord To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Languages: English

He gently knocks-- has knocked before, Has waited long-- is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and loaded hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Admit Him ere His anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand.
