Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
Author: George Duffield, 1818-1888 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,836 hymnals Scripture: James 5:8 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
you soldiers of the cross,
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss;
from victory unto victory
his army shall he lead,
till every 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.
You that are brave, now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strrength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you--
you dare not trust your own;
put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
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 those who conquer evil
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of glory
shall reign eternally. Topics: Conflict Spiritual; Conflict & Victory Used With Tune: WEBB

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,259 hymnals Scripture: James 5:7-8 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all of us away;
we fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be now our guard while life shall last,
and our eternal home!
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Dependability; Eternal Life; God Eternal; God's Faithfulness; God's Presence; Refuge Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Scripture text

One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phebe Cary Appears in 715 hymnals Scripture: James 5:8 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But lying dark between,
And winding through the night,
The deep and unknown stream!
Crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, confirm my trust;
Strengthen the hand of faith,
To feel thee when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
6 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink,
For I am nearer home,
Perhaps, than now I think. Topics: Life and Death; Nearing Home
One sweetly solemn thought
Songs of Praise the Angels Sang
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 547 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13-20 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang
when creation was begun,
when God spoke and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
when the Prince of Peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away,
songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth;
songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall Christians fail to sing
till on earth Christ come as King?
No, the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto you we raise.
Jesus, Saviour, living Word,
with the Spirit be adored.

Songs of Praise the Angels Sang
What various hindrances we meet
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 528 hymnals Scripture: James 5:17-18 Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet
In coming to a mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there!
2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love;
Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 Have you no words? Ah, think again:
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill a fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent
To heaven in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
Hear what the Lord hath done for me. Topics: Prayer; Hindrances to Prayer

Christ for the World We Sing
Author: Samuel Wolcott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 416 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13-20 Lyrics: 1 Christ for the world we sing,
the world to Christ we bring,
with loving zeal;
the poor, and them that mourn,
the faint and overborne,
sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
for Christ doth heal.
2 Christ for the world we sing,
the world to Christ we bring,
with fervent prayer;
the wayward and the lost,
by restless passions tossed,
redeemed at countless cost
from dark despair.
3 Christ for the world we sing,
the world to Christ we bring,
with one accord;
with us the work to share,
with us reproach to dare,
with us the cross to bear,
for Christ our Lord.
4 Christ for the world we sing,
the world to Christ we bring,
with joyful song;
the newborn souls, whose days,
reclaimed from error's ways,
inspired with hope and praise,
to Christ belong.
