Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield, Jr. (1818-1888) Hymnal: CP1998 #461 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 on to victory his army he shall lead till evil is defeated, 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 strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in his power alone, for human might will fail you -- you dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armour, keep watch with constant prayer; when duty calls or danger, be never failing 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 everyone who conquers, a crown of life shall be; we, with the king of glory, shall reign eternally.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Hymnal: CP1998 #463 (1998) Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar, by Love's divine appointing. With rare perfume she filled the room, presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, the sneers of scorn defying. With rare perfume she filled the room, preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb by Love's divine commission. She saw, she heard, she preached the word, arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, with resurrection gospel. She saw, she heard, she preached the word, apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, for centuries were hidden, unsung, unwritten, and unheard, derided and forbidden, the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire, on free and slave descending, can tumble our dividing walls, our shame and sadness mending. 4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, by Love's divine ordaining, the friends we need, to serve and lead, their powers and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, from women, men and children, the friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome!

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Hymnal: CP1998 #466 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call: to live according to your word, and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all, and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear; if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We mark your saints, how they became in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you, the cross you hung upon, all you endeavoured done.

Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Hymnal: CP1998 #469 (1998) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing praises old and new, past and present join in one. Old covenants renew: new commitments have begun. God's soaring purpose spans all ages, lives and lands. Christ's open, wounded hands past and present join in one. 2 Word, from the heart of God, costly, unexpected grace; Love, making all things good, Light of all the human race; hail, Wisdom, deep and vast, shining in Israel's past, raising the least and last: costly, unexpected grace! 3 Great Spirit, make us wise, doors of promise open wide. Through evil's deadly lies truth and goodness set aside, faith never stands alone, hope rolls away the stone, love makes your presence known, doors of promise open wide. 4 People of hope, be strong! Love is making all things new. Lift our united song, show what faith can dream and do! Come, Presence ever near, revive us, year by year. Sing through our joy and fear, "Love is making all things new!" Topics: Christian Life; Covenant; Hope; Love; Wisdom Scripture: Psalm 66 Languages: English Tune Title: FONDREN
