Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed
Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed,
for all who suffer for the gospel's sake,
that Christ may show us how to serve them best
in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake.
But how much more than us they have to give,
who by their dying show us how to live!
2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait,
as Jesus waited in the olive grove,
the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate,
the world's contempt for reconciling love.
Shall all they won for us, at such a cost,
be by our negligence or weakness lost?
3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare
what sort we are, who call ourselves his own,
we may be counted worthy then to wear,
with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown:
the crown that in his saints he wears again
the crown of thorns that signifies his reign. Topics: Peace and Justice; Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES

Supported by especial grace
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Lyrics: 1 Supported by especial grace,
And by superior pow'r upheld,
The faithful christian runs his race,
To gain the vict'ry and the field.
2 But O, how foolish and unwise!
Could it be truly said to be?
For those who fain would gain the prize
And yet not strive for mastery.
3 To gain the never fading crown,
Each reigning sin must be subdu'd;
The haughty spirit must come down,
And yield unto the ways of God.
4 The soul, with carnal mind beset,
Can never speed in holiness:
But still oppress'd with ev'ry weight
Of sin, and burthens of distress.
5 All candidates for Glory must,
Be watching unto constant pray'r--
To crucify their pride and lust,
If they desire the crown to wear.
6 May I be wise to act my part,
And evermore be on my guard,
To watch and pray with all my heart,
And wait the comming of my Lord.
Topics: Septuagesima Sunday
