A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,352 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with watchful care
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high. Topics: Aspiration; Commitment and Submission; Prayer and Intercession; Salvation; Testimony, Witness, Evangelism Used With Tune: BOYLSTON
A Charge to Keep I Have
Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,054 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
and an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
hold thee in full survey;
forget the steps already trod
and onward urge your way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
that calls thee from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to thine aspiring eye;
4 that prize, with peerless glories bright
which shall new lustre boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarch's gems
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Saviour, introduced by thee
have I my race begun,
and crowned with vict'ry, at thy feet
I'll lay my honors down.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 675 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:18 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name, from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours thro' him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.

an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain–
for me, who caused his bitter death?
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?!
2 He left his Father's throne above–
so free, so infinite his grace–
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race!
What mercy this, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Your sunrise turned that night to day;
I woke– the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, your voice I knew;
I rose, went out, and followed you. [Refrain]
4 No condemnation now I dread,
for Christ, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

All my being's ransom'd pow'rs;
All my thoughts and words and doings,
All my days and all my hours.

Let my feet run in His ways;
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth His praise.

I've lost sight of all beside;
So enchained my spirit's vision,
Looking at the Crucified.

Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me His beloved,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.

All praise to our redeeming Lord
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:15-16 Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord,
who joins us by his grace,
and bids us, each to each restored,
together seek his face.
2 He bids us build each other up;
and, gathered into one,
to our high calling’s glorious hope
we hand in hand go on.
3 The gift which he on one bestows,
we all delight to prove;
the grace through every vessel flows,
in purest streams of love.
4 Ev'n now we think and speak the same,
and cordially agree;
concentred all, through Jesus’ name,
in perfect harmony.
5 We all partake the joy of one,
the common peace we feel,
a peace to sensual minds unknown,
a joy unspeakable.
6 And if our fellowship below
in Jesus be so sweet,
what heights of rapture shall we know
when round his throne we meet! Used With Tune: ST MAGNUS

And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calv'ry's tree,
and having with us him that pleads above,
we here present, we here spread forth to thee
that only off'ring perfect in thine eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of thy grace,
our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:
for lo, between our sins and their reward
we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord.
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
by this prevailing presence we appeal:
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast,
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
from tainting mischief keep them white and clear,
and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.
4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet,
most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
and by this food, so aweful and so sweet,
deliver us from ev'ry touch of ill:
in thine own service make us glad and free,
and grant us never more to part with thee.
