Alas! what hourly dangers rise

Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise, What snares beset my way! To heav'n, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance,--ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O Lord, increase my faith and hope, When foes and fears prevail, And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 4 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.

O God unseen, yet ever near

Author: Edward Oslar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God unseen, yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus, inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy Love; The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy Word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat the Body of the Lord, Our drink, His precious Blood. 4 Thus may we all Thy word obey For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine.

Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,059 hymnals 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? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile 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 Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Oh, for a closer walk with God

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,418 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God, a calm and heavenly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O Holy Dove! return, sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, and drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from thy throne, and worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Rev. A. M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine, Which we in Christ possess! We're saved from guilt and ev'ry sin, And called to holiness. 2 'Tis not for works which we have done, Or shall hereafter do; But He, of His electing love, Salvation doth bestow. 3 The glory, Lord, from first to last, Is due to Thee alone; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, Or rob Thee of Thy crown. 4 Our glorious Surety undertook Redemption's wondrous plan; And grace was given us in Him, Before the world began. 5 Safe in the arms of sov'reign love We ever shall remain; Nor shall the rage of earth or hell Make Thy dear councils vain. 6 Not one of all the chosen race But shall to heav'n attain, Partake on earth the purposed grace, And then with Jesus reign.

Lord, I believe; but Thou dost know My faith is cold and weak; Pity my frailty, and bestow The confidence I seek. 4.
