Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord

Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Offices of the Church Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord, With shield of faith and Spirit's sword; Forth to the battle may they go, And boldly fight against the foe, With banner of the Cross unfurl'd, And by it overcome the world; And so at last receive from Thee The palm and crown of victory. 2 Come, ever-blessèd Spirit, come, And make Thy servant's hearts Thy home; May each a living temple be, Hallow'd for ever, Lord, to Thee, Enrich that temple's holy shrine With seven-fold gifts of grace divine; With wisdom, light, and knowledge bless, Strength, counsel, fear, and godliness.

Christ is our corner-stone

Lord, let me know my term of days

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Offices of the Church Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Lord, let me know my term of days How soon my life will end; The numerous train of ills disclose, Which this frail state attend. 2 My Life, Thou know'st, is but a span, A cipher sums my years; And every man, in best estate, But vanity appears. 3 Man, like a shadow, vainly walks, With fruitless cares oppress'd; He heaps up wealth, but cannot tell By whom 'twill be possess'd. 4 Why then should I on worthless toys With anxious cares attend? On Thee alone my steadfast hope Shall ever, Lord, depend. 5 Lord, hear my cry, accept my tears, And listen to my prayer, Who sojourn like a stranger here, As all my fathers were. 6. O spare me yet a little time; My wasted strength restore, Before I vanish quite from hence, And shall be seen no more.

Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day; Wipe sorrow's tears away; Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransom'd soul.
