Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield, 1818 - 88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #551b (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the Cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory His army shall he lead, Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this his glorious day: Ye that are men, 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.

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #597 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Commemoration Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To him that sat thereon: 'Salvation, glory, honor!' I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of him who died and lives, Their one glad triumph song. A-men. 3 I saw the holy city, The New Jerusalem, Come down from heaven, a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the golden street; And nations brought their honors there, And laid them at her feet. 4 And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God's glory did enlighten all, The Lamb himself the light; And there his servants serve him, And, life's long battle o'er, Enthroned with him, their Saviour King, They reign for evermore. 5 O great and glorious vision, The Lamb upon his throne! O wondrous sight for man to see! The Saviour with his own: To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death Shall ever enter more. 6 O Lamb of God who reignest, Thou bright and morning Star! Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge eternal, When thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl And call thy servants home. Amen.

Listen, sisters! Listen, Brothers!

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #30 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Life in Christ Lyrics: Listen, sisters! Listen, brothers! To the news that we proclaim; Spread the word and tell your neighbors: We have life in Jesus’ name. All because God loves us dearly, Jesus died for all our sin. On the third day, God showed clearly: Love has conquered, death can’t win. What could be our proclamation If our Lord had not been raised, For without his resurrection, What could give hope to our days? But in fact, our Christ is living— First to live, of those who’ve died; For as all are lost through Adam, So in Christ, we’re made alive. What is sown will surely perish; What is raised will still endure. What is sown is sown in weakness; What is raised will die no more. Flesh and blood cannot inherit That great kingdom God will bring. God will change us—never fear it! Death, defeated, has no sting. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

Come down, O Love divine

A-men. 3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King; All, all thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind? I see thy Cross; there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame: The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, My heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE
