Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armor on; Fight, for the battle will be ours; We fight to win a crown. 2 We fight not against flesh, We wrestle not with blood; But principalities and powers, And for the truth of God; 3 With wicked spirits, too, That in high places stand, Perverting oft the word of God, And say 'tis by command. 4 Put all the armor on, Like valiant soldiers stand; Let all your loins be girt with truth, Waiting our Lord's command. 5 While Jesus is our friend, And his rich grace supplies, We'll march like valiant soldiers on; We're sure to win the prize. 6 The battle's almost o'er; The race is nearly run; Then with our glorious, conquering King We'll sit down on his throne.

I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night; Do not detain me, for I am going To where the fountains are ever flowing, I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2. There the glory is ever shining; O my longing heart, my longing heart is there; Here is this country, so dark and dreary, I long have wandered forlorn and weary. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 3. There's the city to which I journey; My Redeemer, my Redeemer, is its light; There is no sinning, nor any sighing, Nor any tears there, nor any dying. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. Used With Tune: I'M A PILGRIM

Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes; See where thy foes against thee rise, In long array, a numerous host; Awake, my soul! or thou art lost. 2 See where rebellious passions rage, And fierce desires and lusts engage; The meanest foe of all the train Has thousands and ten thousands slain. 3 Thou treadest on enchanted ground; Perils and snares beset thee round; Beware of all, guard every part But most the traitor in thy heart. 4 The terror and the charm repel, The powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear? 5 Come then, my soul! now learn to wield The weight of thine immortal shield; Put on the armor, from above, Of heavenly truth and heavenly love.
