A Charge to Keep I Have
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Appears in 616 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By wars without and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him, thou hast died.
5 O wondrous Love, to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners such as I
Might plead thy gracious Name! Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Am I a soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,995 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory 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? A-men.
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vain 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 thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
Amen. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
Am I a soldier of the Cross
All people that on earth do dwell
Author: William Kethe, d. 1608? Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take. A-men.
3 O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good:
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From men and from the angel-host
Be praise and glory evermore.

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to thee,
Who givest all?

Sweet flowers and fruits thy love declare,
When harvests ripen, thou art there,
Who givest all. A-men.
3 For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise,
Who givest all.
4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav’st him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessèd One,
Thou givest all.
5 Thou giv’st the Spirit’s blessèd dower,
Spirit of life and love and power,
And dost his sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, all praise to thee be given,
Who givest all.

My faith looks up to thee
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808 - 87 Appears in 2,259 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession; The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire. A-men.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
Amen. Used With Tune: OLIVET
My faith looks up to thee
A mighty Fortress is our God
Author: Rev. Frederick H. Hedge; Rev. Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Loyalty and Courage Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient Foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great;
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.
Amen. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
A mighty Fortress is our God
