Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,001 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals 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? A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain 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. Amen. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

As with gladness men of old

Appears in 648 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom Heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offer'd gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransom'd souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun, which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King.

See them bend, their gifts to offer. Gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh. 4 Offerings of mystic meaning! Incense doth the God disclose; Gold a Royal Child proclaimeth, Myrrh the future tomb foreshows. 5 Holy Jesus! in Thy brightness To the Gentile world displayed, With the Father and the Spirit, Endless praise to Thee be paid.

Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion, Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there. 2 O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! A-men. 3 There grief is turned to pleasure, Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know. 4 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 5 And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Sion, in her anguish, With Babylon must cope; 6 But he whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see him Shall have him for their own. 7 The morning shall awaken, The shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. 8 There, God our King and portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. 9 O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect; O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! 10 Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE
