Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Scripture: Mark 8:38 Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by thy word.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Self-denial
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals First Line: And must I part with all I have Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have,
My dearest Lord for thee?
It is but right, since thou hast done
Much more than this for me.
2 Yes, let it go—one look from thee
Will more than make amends,
For all the losses I sustain
Of credit, riches, friends.
3 Ten thousand worlds, then thousand lives,
How worthless they appear
Compar'd with thee, supremely good,
Divinely bright and fair!
4 Savior of souls, could I from thee
A single smile obtain,
Tho' destitute of all things else,
I'd glory in my gain. Topics: Graces of the Spirit Self-Denial; Cross The Christians, taken up; Self Denial

Author: Needhad Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals First Line: Asham'd of Christ! my soul, disdain Scripture: Mark 8:38 Lyrics: 1 Asham'd of Christ! my soul, disdain
The mean ungenerous thought:
Shall I disown that friend, whose blood
To man salvation brought?
2 With the glad news of love and peace
From heav'n to earth he came:
For us endur'd the painful cross,
For us despis'd the shame.
3 At his command, we must take up
Our cross without delay:
Our lives— and thousands lives like ours,
His love can ne'er repay.
4 Each faithful sufferer Jesus views
With infinite delight:
Their lives to him are dear, their Deaths
Are precious in his sight.
5 To bear his name, his cross to bear!
Our highest honor this!
Who nobly suffers now for him,
Shall reign with him in bliss.
6 But should we in the evil day,
From our possession fly,
Jesus the judge, before the world,
The traitor will deny.

bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake,
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Before Your Cross, O Jesus
Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus,
our lives are judged today;
the meaning of our eager strife
is tested by your way.
Across our restless living
the light streams from your cross,
and by its clear, revealing beams
we measure gain and loss.
2 The hopes that lead us onward,
the fears that hold us back,
our will to dare great things for God,
the courage that we lack,
The faith we keep in goodness,
our love, as low or pure,
on all, the judgment of the cross
falls steady, clear, and sure.
3 Yet humbly, in our striving,
we rise to face its test.
We crave the power to do your will
as once you did it best.
On us let now the healing
of your great Spirit fall,
and make us brave and full of joy
to answer to your call. Topics: Discipleship; Gospel Call and Response; Lent; Year A Proper 17; Year B Lent 5; Year B Proper 19; Year C Lent 5 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Before Your Cross, O Jesus
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:31-38 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand;
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye by faith can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 The shadow of your cross, Lord,
be my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of your face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, your cross. Topics: Lent; Christian year--Lent; Humility Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
