Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 914 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on, strong in the strength which God supplies through his eternal Son. Strong in the Lord of Hosts, and in his mighty pow'r, who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror. 2 Stand then in his great might, with all his strength endued; but take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God. Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul; take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace, and fortify the whole. 3 To keep your armor bright, attend with constant care; still walking in your Captain's sight, and watching unto prayer. From strength to strength go on; wrestle and fight and pray; tread all the pow'rs of darkness down, and win the well-fought day.

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all your griefs and ways into his hands; to his sure truth and tender care, who earth and heav'n commands. Who points the clouds their course, whom winds and seas obey, he shall direct your wand'ring feet, hHe shall prepare your way. 2 Give to the winds your fears; hope, and be undismayed; God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head. Through waves and clouds and storms he gently clears your way; wait for his time, so shall the night soon end in joyous day. 3 Still heavy is your heart? Still sink your spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, and every care be gone. He everywhere has sway, and all things serve his might; his every act pure blessing is, his path unsullied light. 4 Far, far above your thought his counsel shall appear, when fully he the work has wrought that caused your needless fear. Leave to his sovereign sway to choose and to command; with wonder filled, you then hall own how wise, how strong his hand.

Ye sons of men, rejoice In Jesus’ mighty love, Lift up your heart, lift up your voice To Him who rules above. 2. Extol His kingly power, Kiss the exalted Son, Who died, and lives, to die no more, High on His Father’s throne; Our Advocate with God, He undertakes our cause, And spreads through all the earth abroad The victory of His cross. 3. That bloody banner see, And in your Captain’s sight, Fight the good fight of faith with me, My fellow soldiers, fight! In mighty phalanx joined, To battle all proceed; Armed with the unconquerable mind Which was in Christ your Head. 4. Urge on your rapid course, Ye blood besprinkled bands; The heavenly kingdom suffers force, ’Tis seized by violent hands; See there the starry crown That glitters through the skies! Satan, the world, and sin, tread down, And take the glorious prize. 5. Through much distress and pain, Through many a conflict here, Through blood, ye must the entrance gain; Yet, O disdain to fear! Courage! your Captain cries, Who all your toil foreknew Toil ye shall have; yet all despise, I have o’ercome for you. 6. The world cannot withstand Its ancient conqueror, The world must sink beneath The hand which arms us for the war; This is the victory! Before our faith they fall; Jesus hath died for you and me; Believe, and conquer all! Used With Tune: DIADEMATA Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

Let all the angel throng give thanks to God on high, while earth repeats the joyful song, and echoes to the sky. 2 Incarnate Deity, let all the ransomed race render in thanks their lives to thee for thy redeeming grace. The grace to sinners showed ye heavenly choirs proclaim, and cry: 'Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!' 3 Spirit of holiness, let all thy saints adore thy sacred energy, and bless thine heart-renewing power. Not angel tongues can tell thy love's ecstatic height, the glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight. 4 Eternal triune Lord! Let all the hosts above, let all the sons of men, record and dwell upon thy love. When heaven and earth are fled before thy glorious face, sing all the saints thy love hath made thine everlasting praise.

Beyond the starry skies

Author: Daniel Turner Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills, There in the boundless world of light Our great Redeemer dwells. Around him angels fair In countless armies shine; And ever, in exalted lays, They offer songs divine. 2 "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry, "Whose unexampled love Moved thee to quit these glorious realms And royalties above." And when he stooped to earth, And suffered rude disdain, They cast their honors at his feet, And waited in his train. 3 They saw him on the cross, While darkness vailed the skies; And when he burst the gates of death, They saw the Conqueror rise. They thronged his chariot wheels, And bore him to his throne; Then swept their golden harps and sung, "That glorious work is done." Topics: Worship Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
