Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #573 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, a foll'wer 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 flow'ry 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 view the triumph from afar, and seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry through the skies, the glory shall be thine.

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #621 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Prayer in Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord, who rises with healing in his wings: when comforts are declining, he grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation we sweetly then pursue the theme of God's salvation, and find it ever new; set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, "Let the unknown tomorrow bring with it what it may." 3 It can bring with it nothing but he will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe his people too: beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and he who feeds the ravens will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit shall bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there; yet God the same abiding, his praise shall tune my voice, for, while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

The manna of thy Word let my soul feed upon; and if all else should fail, my Lord, thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, let not my star of hope grow dim or disappear. Since thou on earth hast wept, and sorrowed oft alone, if I must weep with thee, my Lord, thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as thou wilt! All shall be well for me; each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, and sing, in life or death, "My Lord, thy will be done."
