Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 497 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use First Line: Fight the good fight with all thy might Lyrics:
Fight the good fight with all thy might,
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God's good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek his face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
Faint not nor fear, his arms are near;
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy kingdom come, O God!
Author: Lewis Hensley Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Advent; Sunday Schools Missions; Sunday Schools Epiphanytide Lyrics:
Thy kingdom come, O God!
Thy rule, O Christ, begin!
Break with thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin!
Where is thy reign of peace,
And purity, and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the realms above?
When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
Oppression, lust, and crime
Shall flee thy face before?
We pray thee, Lord, arise,
And come in thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for thy sight.
O'er heathen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise, O Morning Star,
Arise, and never set.
Amen.

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Author: John Bakewell; Martin Madan; Augustus M.Toplady Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 628 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Ascension; Sunday Schools Eastertide; Sunday Schools Lyrics:
Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, Thou agonizing Savior,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merit we find favor:
Life is given through Thy Name.
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid:
By almighty love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
All Thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of Thy blood:
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading:
There Thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.
Worship, honor, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive:
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits!
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays!
Help to sing our Savior's merits!
Help to chant Emmanuel's praise!
Amen.

O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges; Colleges and Schools; School and College Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose feet have climbed life's hill,
And trod the path of youth,
Our Saviour and our Brother still,
Now lead us into truth.
2 The call is Thine: be Thou the Way,
And give us men, to guide;
Let wisdom broaden with the day,
Let human faith abide.
3 Who learn of Thee the truth shall find,
Who follow, gain the goal;
With reverence crown the earnest mind,
And speak within the soul.
4 Awake the purpose high which strives,
And, falling, stands again;
Confirm the will of eager lives
To quit themselves like men:
5 Thy life the bond of fellowship,
Thy love the law that rules,
Thy Name, proclaimed by every lip,
The Master of our schools.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

O Paradise, O Paradise

O Paradise, O Paradise,
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land
Where they that loved are blest;
O Paradise, O Paradise,
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?
O Paradise, O Paradise,
We long to sin no more;
We long to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore;
O Paradise, O Paradise,
We shall not wait for long;
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of thy song;
Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O keep us in Thy love,
And guide us to that happy land
Of perfect rest above;
Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture, through and through
In God's most holy sight.
Amen.

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Schools Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart,
wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see the cross— there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unceasing prayer.
5 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove;
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
Psalter Hymnal, 1987
