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.

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.

Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away. 3.

'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole; The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die. 214 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love;-- There is a death, whose pang Ontlasts the fleeting breath; O what eternal horrors hang Around "the second death!" Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be banish'd from Thy face, And evermore undone: Here would we end our quest; Alone are found in Thee, The life of perfect love,--the rest Of immortality.

Might mortal thought presume to guess an angel's lay, such are the notes that echo through the courts of heav'n today. 2 Such the triumphal hymns on Zion's Prince that wait, in high procession passing on towards his temple gate. Give ear, ye kings; bow down, ye rulers of the earth– this, this is he, your priest by grace, your God and King by birth. 3 No pomp of earthly guards attends with sword and spear, and all defying, dauntless, look their monarch's way to clear: yet are there more with him than all that are with you– the armies of the highest heav'n, all righteous, good, and true. 4 But who is he, though bowed by years, erect in heart, whose prayers are struggling with his tears? "Lord, let me now depart; now hath thy servant seen thy saving health, O Lord: 'tis time that I depart in peace, according to thy word." 5 Yet swells the pomp: one more comes forth to bless her God: full four-score years, meek widow, she her heav'nward way hath trod: she who to earthly joys so long had giv'n farewell, now sees, unlooked for, heav'n on earth, Christ in his Israel. 6 Wide open from that hour the temple gates are set, and still the saints rejoicing there the holy Child have met. Still to the lowly soul he doth himself impart, and for his cradle and his throne chooseth the pure in heart.

Arise, arise, and tread The future without fears; He leadeth still Whose hand hath led Through all the bygone years. 4 When we have reached the home We seek with weary feet, Our children's children still shall come To keep these ranks complete; And He Whose host is one Throughout the countless spheres Will guide His marching servants on Through everlasting years.

When Lawless People Thrive

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When lawless people thrive and wrong suppresses right, remember they will fade away and wither overnight. Commit your life to God, and trust the LORD to make the justice of your righteous cause shine clear for his name's sake. 2 Be still before the LORD; in patience learn to wait and never fret if crime succeeds and some grow rich and great. For jealous discontent tends only to destroy; the meek who look to God their LORD a kingdom shall enjoy. 3 The godless borrow much and cannot then pay back; the righteous give, and give again, are blessed, and have no lack. The saints whose lives are true can turn away from wrong; God's Word is hidden in their heart, God's wisdom guides their tongue. 4 I've seen a boasting thief grow like a weed apace; but when I passed that way again I looked, but found no trace. My steps are from the LORD who helps my feet to stand. I stumble but I do not fall; my God shall hold my hand. 5 Salvation is from God in times of blatant wrong, and all who seek his shelter find a refuge safe and strong. So fully trust the LORD; shun evil, follow right: God gives you all your heart's desire when he is your delight.

Sing to the Lord aloud, And make a joyful noise; God is our strength, our Savior God; Let Israel hear His voice. 2. “From vile idolatry Preserve My worship clean; I am the Lord, who set thee free From slavery and sin. 3. “Stretch thy desires abroad, And I’ll supply them well: But if ye will refuse your God, If Israel will rebel; 4. I’ll leave them, saith the Lord, “To their own lusts a prey, And let them run the dangerous road, ’Tis their own chosen way. 5. “Yet O! that all My saints Would hearken to My voice! Soon I would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice. 6. While I destroy their foes, I’d richly feed my flock; And they should taste the stream that flows From their eternal rock.

Crown Him With Many Crowns

Author: Godfrey Thring; Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 801 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark, how the heav’nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him Who died for thee, And hail Him as thy chosen King Thro' all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began; And ye, who tread where He hath trod, Crown Him the Son of Man, Who ev'ry grief hath known That wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own That all in Him may rest. 3 Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o’er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 4 Crown Him the Lord of heav’n, Enthroned in worlds above, Crown Him the King to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns As thrones before Him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is King of all. Amen.

Stupendous Mystery!

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Stupendous mystery Lyrics: 1. Stupendous mystery! God in our flesh is seen (While angels ask, how can it be?) And dwells with sinful men! Our nature He assumes, That we may His retrieve; He comes, to our dead world He comes, That all thro’ Him may live. 2. The true, eternal Word To us a Child is given, The sovereign God, th’Almighty Lord, Who fills both earth and Heaven; Our God on earth appears To take our sins away, And guide us thro’ the vale of tears To realms of endless day.

Refrain And when Thou demandest the life Thou hast given, With joy will I answer Thy merciful call, And quit this poor earth but to find Thee in Heaven, My portion forever, my God and my all.
