Days and moments quickly flying

Days and moments quickly flying
Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,996 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage 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,
Whilst 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 of 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,
With faith's discerning eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
Am I a soldier of the cross
Equip me for the war
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Equip me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;
My simple, upright heart prepare,
And guide my words aright.
2 Control my every thought;
My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.
3 O arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb, that was in thee!
And let my knowing zeal be joined
With perfect charity.
4 With calm and tempered zeal
Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.
5 O may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove!
To hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love. Used With Tune: LABAN

I'm going home, I'm going home
Author: William Hunter Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage First Line: My heavenly home is bright and fair Lyrics: 1 My heavenly home is bright and fair;
Nor pain, nor death can enter there;
Its glittering towers the sun out-shine;
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.
Chorus:
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more.
2 My Father's house is built on high,
Far, far above the starry sky;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be. [Chorus]
3 While here a stranger, far from home,
Affliction's waves may round me foam;
And though, like Lazarus, sick and poor,
My heavenly mansion is secure. [Chorus]
Used With Tune: I'M GOING HOME
I'm going home, I'm going home
My soul, be on thy guard!
Author: George Heath Appears in 1,389 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard!
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray!
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thy arduous task will not be done
Till thou obtain the crown. Used With Tune: LABAN
My soul, be on thy guard!
O, it is hard to work for God
Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 O, it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battle-field of earth,
And not sometimes lose heart!
2 He hides himself so wondrously,
As though there were no God;
He is least seen when all the powers
Of ill are most abroad;
3 Or he deserts us in the hour
The fight is all but lost,
And seems to leave us to ourselves
Just when we need him most.
4 It is not so, but so it looks;
And we lose courage then;
And doubts will come though God hath kept
His promises to men.
5 But right is right, since God is God;
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin! Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
O, it is hard to work for God
Stand up, my soul! shake off thy fears
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 375 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my soul! shake off thy fears,
And gird the gospel armor on;
Awake and run the heavenly race;
Let every trembling thought be gone.
2 True, 'tis strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who is the strength of every saint,
3 The mighty God, whose matchless power
Is ever new and ever young,
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run. Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS
Stand up, my soul! shake off thy fears
