Hark, How the Watchmen Cry

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hark, how the watchmen cry, Attend the trumpet’s sound! Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh, The powers of hell surround: Who bow to Christ’s command, Your arms and hearts prepare! The day of battle is at hand! Go forth to glorious war! 2. See on the mountain-top The standard of your God! In Jesus’ name I lift it up, All stained with hallowed blood. His standard-bearer, I To all the nations call, Let all to Jesus’ cross draw nigh! He bore the cross for all. 3. Go up with Christ your head, Your captain’s footsteps see; Follow your captain, and be led To certain victory. All power to Him is giv’n, He ever reigns the same; Salvation, happiness, and Heav’n Are all in Jesus’ name. 4. Only have faith in God; In faith your foes assail, Not wrestling against flesh and blood, But all the powers of hell; From thrones of glory driv’n, By flaming vengeance hurled, They throng the air, and darken Heav’n, And rule the lower world.

Make Me a Captive, Lord (Cautívame, Señor)

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906; Federico J. Pagura, 1923-2016 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure, It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My pow'r is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It lacks the needed fire to glow, It lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world Until itself be driv'n; Its flag can only be unfurled When thou shalt breathe from heav'n. 4 My will is not my own Till thou hast made it thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign. It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife When on thy bosom it has leant, And found in thee its life. --- 1 Cautívame, Señor, y libre en ti seré; anhelo ser un vencedor, rindiéndome a tus pies. No puedo ya confiar tan sólo en mi poder, en ti yo quiero descansar y fuerte habré de ser. 2 Mi débil corazón vacila sin cesar, y es como nave sin timón en turbulento mar. Concédele, Señor, perfecta libertad; envuélvele en tu santo amor y libre así será. 3 Sin fuerzas para amar, y así mejor vivir; tú sólo puedes inspirar el gozo de servir. Quisiera desplegar mis alas, oh Señor, mas solo lo podré lograr al soplo de tu amor. 4 Cautívame, Señor, que en ti mi voluntad tendrá un bautismo de vigor, firmeza y santidad. Podrá la tentación mi vida sacudir; no habrá más cierta protección que la que encuentre en ti.

Not What My Hands Have Done

Author: Horatuis Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals First Line: Not what my hands have done Lyrics: 1. Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2. Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; Your pow'r alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but Yours, no other blood will do; No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely thro'. 3. I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfalt'ring lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because He lives. Scripture: Jeremiah 10:23 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

With You at my right hand, Then I shall never fail; Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand, Thro' grace I will prevail. 3.
