The strong foes yield To Christ, our shield, And we, the victors, hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure And boldly strive for heav'nly treasure. Be steadfast in the Savior’s might. Trust the Lord, who stands beside you, For Jesus from all harm will hide you. By faith you conquer in the fight. Take courage, weary soul! Look forward to the goal! Joy awaits you. The race well run, Your long war won, Your crown shines splendid as the sun. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short is this our earthly way. When the Lord the dead will waken And sinners all by fear are shaken, The saints with joy will greet that day. Praise God, our triumph’s sure. We need not long endure Scorn and trial.

Supported by especial grace

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Lyrics: 1 Supported by especial grace, And by superior pow'r upheld, The faithful christian runs his race, To gain the vict'ry and the field. 2 But O, how foolish and unwise! Could it be truly said to be? For those who fain would gain the prize And yet not strive for mastery. 3 To gain the never fading crown, Each reigning sin must be subdu'd; The haughty spirit must come down, And yield unto the ways of God. 4 The soul, with carnal mind beset, Can never speed in holiness: But still oppress'd with ev'ry weight Of sin, and burthens of distress. 5 All candidates for Glory must, Be watching unto constant pray'r-- To crucify their pride and lust, If they desire the crown to wear. 6 May I be wise to act my part, And evermore be on my guard, To watch and pray with all my heart, And wait the comming of my Lord. Topics: Septuagesima Sunday
