Stand up! stand up for Jesus
Author: Duffield Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #656 (1873) Scripture: Ezekiel 33:1-9 Lyrics: 1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From victory unto victory
His army shall be led,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet-call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day:
Ye that are men, now serve him,
Against unnumbered foes;
Your courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in his strength alone:
The arm of flesh will fail you--
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armor,
And watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song:
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally! Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Stand Up for Jesus

And deserts learn the joy.

Through all the earth abroad;

Their Saviour and their God. Topics: The Christian Church Ministry; The Welcome Messengers

Rich reward He offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me"?

Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Off'ring life and peace to all,
If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,

You can say, "He died for all."
3 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the lost of earth are dying,
And the Master calls for you;
Take the task He gives you gladly;
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I; send me, send me."

Their own Redeemer see;
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

Treue Vermahnung aus dem heiligen Augustino, daß man die Buße nicht aufschieben soll
Author: Johann Heermann Hymnal: Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gesang-Buch #314 (1848) Scripture: Ezekiel 33:11 First Line: So wahr ich Lebe, spricht dein Gott Lyrics: 1 So wahr ich lebe, spricht dein Gott,
mir ist nicht lieb des Sünders Tod,
vielmehr ist dies mein Wunsch und Will',
daß er von Sünden halte still,
von seiner Bosheit kehre sich
und lebe mit mir ewiglich.
2 Dies Wort bedenk' o Menschenkind;
verzweifle nicht in deiner Sünd';
hier findest du Trost, Heil und Gnad',
die Gott dir zugesaget hat,
und zwar durch einen theuren Eid:
O selig! dem die Sünd ist leid.
3 Doch hüte dich vor Sicherheit:
denk' nicht, es ist noch gute Zeit,
ich will erst fröhlich sein auf Erd';
wann ich des Lebens müde werd',
alsdann will ich bekehren mich,
Gott wird wohl mein erbarmen sich.
4 Wahr ist's: Gott ist wohl stets bereit
dem Sünder mit Barmherzigkeit;
doch wer auf Gnade sündigt hin,
fährt fort in seinem bösen Sinn,
und seiner Seelen selbst nicht schont,
dem wird mit Ungnad' abgelohnt.
5 Gnad' hat dir zugesaget Gott,
von wegen Christi Blut und Tod:
doch sagen hat Er nicht gewollt,
ob du bis morgen leben sollt:
daß du mußt sterben, ist dir kund,
verborgen ist des Todes Stund'.
6 Heut lebst du, heut bekehre dich,
eh' morgen kommt, kann's ändern sich.
Wer heut ist frisch, gesund und roth,
ist morgen krank, ja wohl gar todt.
So du nun stirbest ohne Buß,
dein Leib und Seel' dort brennen muß.
7 Hilf, o Herr Jesu, hilf Du mir,
daß ich jetzt komme bald zu Dir
und Buße thu' den Augenblick,
eh' mich der schnelle Tod hinrück',
auf daß ich heut und jederzeit
zu meiner Heimfahrt sei bereit.

Yea, as I Live, Jehovah Saith
Author: Matthias Loy; Nikolaus Herman Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #331 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ezekiel 33:11 Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith,
I would not have the sinner's death,
But that he turn from error's ways,
Repent, and live through endless days.
2 To us therefore Christ gave command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins ye thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins ye do retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What ye shall bind, that bound shall be;
What ye shall loose, that shall be free;
Unto My Church the keys are giv'n
To ope and close the gates of heav'n."

Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
6 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
7 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
For absolution full and free,
In which Thou showest forth Thy grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
8 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As 'twas, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!
Amen.

Yea, as I Live, Jehovah Saith
"As Surely as I Live," God Said
Author: Nicolaus Herman, c. 1480-1561; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #614 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ezekiel 33:11 Lyrics: 1 "As surely as I live," God said,
"I would not see the sinner dead.
I want him turned from error’s ways,
Repentant, living endless days."
2 And so our Lord gave this command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins you thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins you will retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What you will bind, that bound shall be;
What you will loose, that shall be free;
To My dear Church the keys are giv'n
To open, close the gates of heav'n."
5 The words which absolution give
Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
6 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
7 All praise to You, O Christ, shall be
For absolution full and free,
In which You show Your richest grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
8 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As was, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!

Why Will Ye Die?
Author: F. G. Burroughs Hymnal: Radiant Songs #40 (1891) Scripture: Ezekiel 33:11 First Line: Why will ye die, when promised life eternal Lyrics: 1 Why will ye die, when promised life eternal, -
When from thy guilt Christ offers thee release?
Why will ye choose the ways of sin and folly,
When wisdom's paths are pleasantness and peace?
Chorus:
Why will ye die? Why will ye die?
Jesus is asking, - lost one, reply;
Just as I am, thou dying Lamb,
Take me, and save me, just as I am.
2 Why will ye die, when bread is given freely, -
When without price ye all may buy and eat?
Why will ye faint beside the flowing fountain, -
Why taste his wrath, when pardon is so sweet? [Chorus]
3 Why will ye die, when for thy full redemption
Jesus, thy Saviour, died upon the cross?
Why will ye turn from gifts of endless value,
Trying to grasp earth's emptiness and dross? [Chorus]
4 Why will ye die beneath your heavy burdens,
When Jesus calls, "Come unto me and rest?"
Light is the burden of his loving kindness;
Easy the yoke of service he hath blest! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Why will ye die, when promised life eternal]
