Living in Christ

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: My gracious Lord, I own thy right Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear thy dictates and obey. 2 What is my being, but for thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? Thine ever-smiling face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live, To him who for my ransom died; Nor could the bowers of Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at his side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, his saving power.

Soldiers of the cross, arise!

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise! Gird you with your armor bright! Mighty are your enemies, Hard the battle ye must fight. 2 O'er a faithless fallen world, Raise your banner in the sky! Let it float there wide unfurled! Bear it onward! lift it high! 3 'Mid the homes of want and woe, Strangers to a living Word, Let the Saviour's herald go! Let the voice of hope be heard! 4 Where the shadows deepest lie, Carry truth's unsullied ray! Where are crimes of blackest dye, There the saving sight display! 5 To the weary and the worn Tell of realms where sorrows cease! To the outcast and forlorn Speak of mercy and of peace! 6 Guard the helpless! seek the strayed! Comfort troubles! banish grief! In the might of God arrayed, Scatter sin and unbelief! 7 Be the banner still unfurled, Still unsheathed the Spirit's sword, Till the kingdoms of the world Are the kingdom of the Lord! Amen.

Strength to the troubled heart, we come

Author: David Sparks, 20th cent. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Funeral Lyrics: 1 Strength to the troubled heart, we come with anxious and bewildered minds, striving to reach for meaning here: your peace is what we ache to find. 2 Joy of the thankful heart, we come; good memories are our today, of friendship given and received, of family care along life's way. 3 Friend of the lonely heart, we come; the void that's left is hard to fill; strong love stays with your grieving ones, sure touch of grace, death's fears to still. 4 Sun of the rising heart, we come; Christ's empty tomb new courage gives, for we are sure, embraced and safe within your love, our loved one lives.

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God; comfort those who sit in darkness, mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved his anger he no more will see or heed. She hath suffered many a day now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness into ever-springing gladness. 3 For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, bidding all men to repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad; and all flesh shall see the token, that his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Used With Tune: THIRSTING
