Be not by the evil day Unawares o'ertaken. For the foe, Well we know, Is a harvest reaping While the saints are sleeping. 2 Watch! Let not the wicked world With its lies defeat you Lest with bold deceptions hurled It betray and cheat you. Watch and see Lest there be Faithless friends to charm you Who but seek to harm you. 3 Watch against yourself, my soul, Lest with grace you trifle; Let not self your thoughts control Nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin Lurk within, All your hopes to shatter; Heed not when they flatter. 4 But while watching also pray To the Lord unceasing. God protects you day by day, Strength and faith increasing, So that still Mind and will Shall unite to serve him And forever love him. Languages: English Tune Title: STRAF MICH NICHT

Hushed be my heart and still; Fear I no further ill. Only to meet thy will My will shall be. 2 Riven the rock for me, Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls Fresh ev'ry eve. Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But thou dost whisper near, "Only believe." 3 Often to Marah's brink Have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, Help I have sought, And with the prayer's ascent Jesus the branch hath rent, Quickly relief hath sent, Sweet'ning the draught. 4 Savior, I long to walk Closer with thee; Led by thy guiding hand, Ever to be Constantly near thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for him who died Freely for me.

The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this his glorious day! Ye that are brave, now serve him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone. The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armor; Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next, the victor's song. To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally.

The Man Is Ever Blest

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #475 (1993) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Commitment; Commitment Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place, 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight Amid the labors of the day And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive With waters near the root. Fresh as the leaf his name shall live; His works are heav'nly fruit. 4 Not so the wicked man! He no such blessing finds. His hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving winds. 5 How will he bear to stand Before that judgment seat Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 God knows and he approves The way the righteous go, But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.
