Up, my soul, gird thee with pow'r
Author: Johann Burchard Freystein; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #396 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power,
Watch! to prayer betake thee;
Lest the sudden evil hour
Unawares o'ertake thee.
Satan's prey
Soon are they,
Who, with best endeavor,
Watch not, pray not, ever.
2 But first rouse thee, and awake
From secure indiff'rence;
Else will follow in its wake
Woe without deliv'rance.
Take thou heed!
Utter need,
Death in sins might find thee,
Ere thou look behind thee.
3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord
Not enlighten, ground thee;
Nor thou see the quickening Word
Shine in splendor round thee.
God demands
Eyes and hands
Open for the offers,
He so richly proffers.
4 With thy watching mingle prayer;
Grace but rids from slumber.
God rids thee from slothful care
And the weights that cumber;
Else will still
Mind and will
Lukewarm praises tender,
And cold service render.
5 God will have it that we ask,
And it shall be given;
Who pray alway, alway bask
In the grace of heaven.
Ere they plead
Will He heed,
Strengthen, keep, defend them,
And deliv'rance send them.
6 Cheer thee then, my soul! all must
Work for good, and bless us,
If we but in prayerful trust
To God's Son address us;
And He will
Richly fill,
And His Spirit send us,
Who to Him commend us.
7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed,
God will prove our Hearer;
For the hour of utmost need
Constantly draws nearer.
Saints will cheer,
Sinners fear,
When the trumpet calleth,
Earth in ruins falleth. Languages: English Tune Title: NASSAU (Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn)
Up, my soul, gird thee with pow'r

Only let me walk with Thee.

Bear me o'er life's fitful sea;

May I enter, Lord, with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #397 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.

And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.

'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.

And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.

I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone. Languages: English

God of grace, whose Word is sure
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #398 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure,
Thou who keenest truth forever,
That my trust may rest secure
On this ground that wavers never,
Let Thy truth be dear to me,
That my soul may faithful be.
2 Ever true this word remains:
He who Christ to own refuses,
While he earthly comfort gains,
Everlasting comfort loses;
For the Savior will not own
Him before the Father's throne.
3 To the banner of the cross
I fidelity have plighted,
It would be my endless loss
If this solemn vow were slighted;
Therefore Jesus, none but He,
Shall my constant watchword be.
4 Let me, till my latest breath,
Christ confess with constant meekness;
Let me faithful be till death,
Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness;
Let me live in Him, and die
Heir of mansions in the sky. Languages: English

Jesus, I my cross have taken
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #399 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;

Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.

Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Jesus, I my cross have taken
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #400 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
By ancient worthies trod;
Aspiring, view those holy men
Who lived and walked with God.
2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear,
And in example live;
Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds,
Still fresh instruction give.
3. ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood
They conquered every foe;
To His power and matchless grace
Their crowns of life they owe.
4 Lord, may I ever keep in view
The patterns Thou hast giv'n,
And ne’er forsake the blessèd road
That led them safe to Heaven. Languages: English
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
