Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,051 hymnals 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?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile 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 view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

Hail Father, Whose Creating Call
Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Hail, Father, whose creating call Lyrics: 1. Hail, Father, whose creating call
Unnumbered worlds attend;
Jehovah, comprehending all,
Whom none can comprehend!

Whom angels dimly see,
The fountain of the Godhead owned,
And foremost of the Three.
3. From Thee, through an eternal now,
The Son, Thine offspring, flowed;
An everlasting father Thou,
An everlasting God.
4. Nor quite displayed to worlds above,
Nor quite on earth concealed;
By wondrous, unexhausted love,
To mortal man revealed.
5. Supreme and all-sufficient God,
When nature shall expire,
And worlds created by Thy nod
Shall perish by Thy fire.
6. Thy name, Jehovah, be adored
By creatures without end,
Whom none but Thy essential Word
And Spirit comprehend. Used With Tune: SEMPER ASPECTEMUS Text Sources: Poems on Several Occasions, 1736

O Lord, How Good, How Great Art Thou
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics:
1 O Lord, how good, how great art Thou,
In Heav’n and earth the same!
There angels at Thy footstool bow,
Here babes Thy grace proclaim.
2 When glorious in the nightly sky
Thy countless worlds I see,
"O what is man," I wondering cry,
"To be so loved by Thee?"
3 To him Thou hourly deign’st to give
New mercies from on high;
Didst quit Thy throne with him to live,
For him in pain to die.
4 Close to Thy own bright seraphim
His favored path is trod,
And all beside are serving him
That he may serve his God.
5 O Lord, how good, how great art Thou,
In Heav’n and earth the same!
There angels at Thy footstool bow,
Here babes Thy grace proclaim.

For Ever We Would Gaze on Thee
Author: Allen W. Chatfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. For ever we would gaze on Thee,
O Lord, upon the Mount;
With Moses and Elias see
That light from light’s own fount;
2. For ever with the chosen three
Would stand upon that height,
And in that blessèd company
Be plunged in pure delight.
3. For ever would we train the ear
To that celestial Voice;
In Thee, the Son of God, so near
For evermore rejoice.
4. Here would we pitch our constant tent,
For ever here abide;
And dwell in peace and full content,
Dear Master, at Thy side.
5. But no! not yet to man ’tis given
To rest upon that height;
’Tis but a passing glimpse of Heav’n;
We must descend and fight.
6. Beneath the mount is toil and pain;
O Christ, Thy strength impart;
Till we, transfigured, too, shall reign
For ever where Thou art. Used With Tune: SEMPER ASPECTEMUS
