Awake, our souls; away, our fears

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Perseverance Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls; away, our fears; let every trembling thought be gone; awake and run the heavenly race, and put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, and mortal spirits tire and faint; but they forget the mighty God that feeds the strength of every saint: 3 The mighty God, whose matchless power is ever new and ever young, and firm endures, while endless years their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, our souls shall drink a fresh supply, while such as trust their native strength shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, we'll mount aloft to thine abode; on wings of love our souls shall fly, nor tire amidst the heavenly road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31 Used With Tune: ST PETERSBURG

To Us All, to Every Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell; W. Garrett Horder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: God's Church Life of Discipleship: Conflict and Perseverance; Perseverance Lyrics: 1 To us all, to every nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side; some great cause, God's new endeavor, offering each the bloom or blight, and the choice goes by forever; 'twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, toiling up new Calvaries ever with the cross that turns not back; new occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth; they must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, yet 'tis truth alone is strong, truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, God is standing in the shadow keeping watch beside God's own. Used With Tune: EBENEZER
