Soldiers of Christ, arise

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 923 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Steadfast and Abounding in Grace Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And gird your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies Through His eternal Son. 2 Strong in the Lord of hosts And in His mighty power, The man who in the Saviour trusts Is more than conqueror. 3 Stand, then, in His great might, With all His strength endued. And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God,-- 4 That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, You may o'ercome through Christ alone, And stand complete 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 conquerors home.

How happy is the pilgrim's lot

Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 How happy is the pilgrim’s lot, How free from every anxious thought, From worldly hope and fear! Confined to neither court nor cell, His soul disdains on earth to dwell, He only sojourns here. 2 This happiness in part is mine; Already saved from self design, From every creature-love; Blest with the scorn of finite good-- My soul is lightened of its load, And seeks the things above. 3 Though I no foot of land possess, Nor cottage in this wilderness, A poor wayfaring man: I lodge awhile in tents below, Or gladly wander to and fro, Till I my Canaan gain. 4 Nothing on earth I call my own; A stranger, to the world unknown, I all their goods despise: I trample on their whole delight, And seek a country out of sight-- A city in the skies. 5 There is my house and portion fair, My treasure and my heart are there, And my abiding home; For me my elder brethren stay, And angels beckon me away, And Jesus bids me come! 9. I come, Thy servant, Lord, replies, I come to meet Thee in the skies, And claim my heavenly rest; Now let the pilgrim’s journey end, Now, O my Savior, brother, friend. Receive me to Thy breast!

"We've no abiding city here:"

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here:" This may distress the worldly mind; But should not cost a saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. 2 "We've no abiding city here:" Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here:" Then let us live as pilgrims do: Let not the world our rest appear; But let us haste from all below. 4 "We've no abiding city here," We seek a city out of sight: Zion it's name,--the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 5 Oh sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest! Had I the pinions of the dove, I'd flee to Thee, and be at rest. 6 But hush, my soul, nor dare repine! The time my God appoints is best: While here to do His will be mine; And His to fix my time of rest.

Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints

Appears in 495 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints, How sweet to the soul is communion with saints! To find at the banquet of mercy there's room, And feel in the presence of Jesus at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 2 Sweet bonds, that unite all the children of peace! And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease! Though oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam, I long to behold Thee in glory, at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 3 I sigh from this body of sin to be free, Which hinders my joy and communion with Thee; Though now my temptations like billows may foam, All, all will be peace, when I'm with Thee at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay, Oh give me submission and strength as my day; In all my afflictions to Thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 5 Whate'er Thou deniest, oh give my Thy grace! The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of thy face; Indulge me with patience to wait at Thy throne, And find even now a sweet foretaste of home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 6 I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile in sorrow to pine, And in Thy dear image, arise from the tomb, With glorified millions to praise Thee at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.

Each morning shall Thy mercies show, Each night Thy love record. 2 Thy goodness, like the sun, Dawned on our early days, Err infant reason had begun To form our lips to praise. 3 Each object we beheld Gave pleasure to our eyes, And nature all our senses held In bands of sweet surprise. 4 But pleasures more refined Awaited that blest day, When light arose upon our mind To chase our sins away. 5 How various and how new Are Thy compassions, Lord! Eternity Thy truth shall show, And all Thy love record.

Am I called? and can it be

Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Pardoned Lyrics: 1 Am I called? and can it be, Has my Saviour chosen me? Guilty, wretched as I am, Has He named my worthless name? Vilest of the vile am I, Dare I raise my hope so high? 2 Am I called? I dare not stay, May not, must not disobey; Here, I lay me at Thy feet, Clinging to the mercy-seat; Thine I am and Thine alone; Lord, with me Thy will be done. 3 Am I called? what shall I bring As an offering to my King? Poor, and blind, and naked, I Trembling at Thy footstool lie; Naught but sin I call mine own, Nor for sin can sin atone. 4 Am I called an heir of God? Washed, redeemed by precious blood? Father, lead me in Thy hand, Guide me to that better land, Where my soul shall be at rest, Pillowed on my Saviour's breast.

Arise, my soul, arise

Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Assured Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood was spilt for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me; Forgive him, oh forgive, they cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die. 4 The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away The presence of His Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear: He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear: With confidence I now draw nigh, And Father, Abba, Father! cry.
