and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

thrusts us through with sense of sin;
brings to birth and seals and fills us
saving Advocate within.

reads with us its holy pages
and reveals our risen Lord.

teaching rebel hearts to pray,
he whose holy intercessions
rise for us both night and day.

his to overcome the tempter
ours to call in danger's hour.
In his strength we dare to battle
all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.
5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit
in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then, forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

Born by the Holy Spirit’s breath
He lives in us, the Christ of God
Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God,
his Spirit joins with ours;
he brings to us the Father's grace
with powers beyond our powers.
And if enticing sin grows strong,
when human nature fails,
God's Spirit in our inner self
fights with us, and prevails.
3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death
are Satan's stratagems —
by Jesus Christ who died for us
God pardons; who condemns?
And when we cannot feel our faith,
nor bring ourselves to pray,
the Spirit pleads with God for us
in words we could not say.
3 God gave his Son to save us all —
no other love like this!
then shall he ever turn away
from those he marks as his?
And God has raised him from the grave,
in this we stand assured;
so none can tear us from his love
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

What more can he say than to you he has said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

for I am your God and will still give you aid;
I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with you in trouble to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply.
The flame shall not hurt you; I only design
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no never forsake!" Topics: Trust and Guidance; Christ--Protection by; Christian year-All Saints; Deliverance; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: J. Rippon's Selection of Hymns (1787), alt.

Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
Author: George Duffield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,804 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
as soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry,
his army shall he lead,
till ev'ry foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
then join the mighty conflict
in this, his glorious day.
Be strong in faith and serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and with God's strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
you dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls or danger,
be ever faithful there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the fight will not be long -
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor's song.
To ev'ryone who conquers,
a crown of life shall be;
we with the King of glory
shall reign eternally. Topics: Temptation and Conflict; Christ--Victorious; Christian warfare; Conflict; Following Christ; Temptation of believers Used With Tune: WEBB

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 850 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed,
the motion of a hidden fire
that trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
the falling of a tear,
the upward glancing of an eye,
when none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
that infant lips can try,
prayer the sublimest strains that reach
the Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
returning from his way,
while angels in their songs rejoice
and cry, "Behold, he prays!"
5 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,
the Christians' native air,
his watchword at the gates of death;
he enters heaven with prayer.
6 The saints in prayer appear as one
in word, and deed, and mind,
while with the Father and the Son
sweet fellowship they find.
7 No prayer is made by us alone,
the Holy Spirit pleads,
and Jesus, on the eternal throne,
for sinners intercedes.
8 O Christ, by whom we come to God,
the life, the truth, the way!
The path of prayer you also trod;
Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: Prayer; Christ--Intercessor; Humility; Prayer; Service music--Responses Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
