All praise to our redeeming Lord

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:3-11 Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face. 2 He bids us build each other up; and gathered into one, to our high calling’s glorious hope, we hand in hand go on. 3 The gift which he on one bestows we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love. 4 Even now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentered all, through Jesus’ name, in perfect harmony. 5 We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable. 6 And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, What height of rapture shall we know When round his throne we meet.

A debtor to mercy alone

Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:6 Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with thy righteousness on, My person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God With me can have nothing to do; My Saviour's obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, The arm of his strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen, And never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, Nor all things below or above, Can make him his purpose forgo, Or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, As sure as the earnest is giv'n; More happy, but not more secure, The glorified spirits in heav'n. Amen.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,948 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:30 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 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.

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have, Jesus, my Lord, for thee? This is my joy, since thou hast done Much more than this for me. 2 Yes, let it go--one look from thee Will more than make amends For all the losses I sustain Of credit, riches, friends. 3 Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives, How worthless they appear, Compared with thee, supremely good, Divinely bright and fair! 4 Saviour of souls, while I from thee A single smile obtain, Though destitute of all things else, I'll glory in my gain.
