Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You
Author: Wilhelm Erasmus Arends, 1677-1721; John M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27-28 Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you,
O Christians, lest the foe destroy you;
For Satan has designed your fall.
Wield God’s word, the weapon glorious;
Against all foes be thus victorious,
For God protects you from them all.
Fear not the hordes of hell,
Here is Emmanuel.
Hail the Savior!
The strong foes yield
To Christ, our shield,
And we, the victors, hold the field.
2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure
And boldly strive for heav'nly treasure.
Be steadfast in the Savior’s might.
Trust the Lord, who stands beside you,
For Jesus from all harm will hide you.
By faith you conquer in the fight.
Take courage, weary soul!
Look forward to the goal!
Joy awaits you.
The race well run,
Your long war won,
Your crown shines splendid as the sun.
3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting;
The hours of grace are fast retreating;
Short, short is this our earthly way.
When the Lord the dead will waken
And sinners all by fear are shaken,
The saints with joy will greet that day.
Praise God, our triumph’s sure.
We need not long endure
Scorn and trial.
Our Savior King
His own will bring
To that great glory which we sing.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,949 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:30 Lyrics: 1. Am I a soldier of the cross,
a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?
2. Must I be carried to the skies
on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?
3. Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4. Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by thy word.
5. Thy saints in all this glorious war
shall conquer, though they die;
they see the triumph from afar,
by faith they bring it nigh.
6. When that illustrious day shall rise,
and all thy armies shine
in robes of victory through the skies,
the glory shall be thine.

Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
Author: George Duffield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,804 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27-30 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
as soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry,
his army shall he lead,
till ev'ry foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
then join the mighty conflict
in this, his glorious day.
Be strong in faith and serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and with God's strength 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 ever faithful there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the fight will not be long -
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor's song.
To ev'ryone who conquers,
a crown of life shall be;
we with the King of glory
shall reign eternally. Topics: Temptation and Conflict; Christ--Victorious; Christian warfare; Conflict; Following Christ; Temptation of believers Used With Tune: WEBB

Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.

Let midnight be ashamed of noon;
'Tis midnight with my soul till He,
Bright, Morning Star, bid darkness flee.

On whom my hopes of heaven depend!

That I no more revere His name. Topics: The Christian Life Dedication and Consecration; Invitation; Testimony Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,031 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast.
But sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.

nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show.
The love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.

as thou our prize wilt be.
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity. Topics: Adoration; Healing; Hope; Joy; Living in Christ; Love of God for Us; Personal Peace; Praise Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Latin hymn, 12th cent.
