Awake my soul, stretch every nerve
Appears in 1,053 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:12-21 Topics: For the Gospels and Epistles
Awake my soul, stretch every nerve
The better portion
Author: Robert Seagrave Appears in 807 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:20 First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place:
Sun and moon and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season,--and you know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM
The better portion
Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 504 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all who feel the tempter's power;
your Redeemer's conflict see,
watch with him one bitter hour:
turn not from his griefs away
teach us, Lord, how we should pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall,
view the Lord of life arraigned.
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss
help us, Lord, to bear our cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" hear him cry
save us, Lord, when death draws nigh.

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]
3 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

It's shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share. [Refrain] Topics: Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness; Jesus Christ His Atonement, Crucifixion and Death; Jesus Christ His Blood; Jesus Christ His Cross; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power; Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb; Sanctification Used With Tune: OLD RUGGED CROSS

Savior, Blessed Savior
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 329 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3 Lyrics: 1 Savior, blessed Savior, listen while we sing;
hearts and voices raising praises to our King:
all we have we offer, all we hope to be,
body, soul, and spirit, all we yield to thee.
2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ we draw to thee,
deep in adoration, bending low the knee;
thou for our redemption cam'st on earth to die;
thou, that we might follow, hast gone up on high.
3 Great and ever greater, are thy mercies here;
true and everlasting are the glories there,
where no pain nor sorrow, fear nor care, is known,
where the angel legions circle round thy throne.
4 Higher then, and higher, bear the ransomed soul,
earthly toils forgotten - Savior, to its goal;
where, in joys unthought of, saints with angels sing,
never weary, raising praises to their King.

not a shadow, not a sigh. (Refrain)
3 Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving every day;
just one glimpse of him in glory
will the toils of life repay. (Refrain)

Soon his beauty we'll behold;
soon the pearly gates will open;
we shall tread the streets of gold. (Refrain)

"Short toil"
Author: John M. Neale Appears in 245 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:20 First Line: Brief life is here our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life, that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there:
Oh, happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The light, that hath no evening,
The health, that hath no sore,
The life, that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
3 There Jesus shall embrace us,
There Jesus be embraced,--
That spirit's food and sunshine;
Whence earthly love is chased:
Yes! God my King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face. Used With Tune: EWING

Through sorrow's night and danger's path
Author: White Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 187 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:21 Lyrics: 1 Through sorrow's night and danger's path,
Amid the deepening gloom,
We, followers of our suff'ring Lord,
Are marching to the tomb.
2 There, when the turmoil is no more,
And all our powers decay,
Our cold remains, in solitude,
Shall sleep the years away.
3 Our labors done, securely laid
In this our last retreat,
Unheeded, o'er our silent dust,
The storms of earth may beat.
4 Yet not thus buried, or extinct,
The vital spark shall lie;
For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise
To seek its kindred sky.
5 These ashes, too, this little dust,
Our Father's care shall keep,
Till the last angel rise and break
The long and dreary sleep. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; The Soul never Sleeps
Through sorrow's night and danger's path

that delights and stirs me so?
What the high reward I win?
Whose the name I glory in?
Jesus Christ, the crucified.

Who consoles my saddest woes?
Who revives my fainting heart,
healing all its hidden smart?
Jesus Christ, the crucified.
3. Who is life in life to me?
Who the death of death will be?
Who will place me on his right
with the countless hosts of light?
Jesus Christ, the crucified.

this delights and stirs me so:
faith in him who died to save,
him who triumphed o'er the grave,
Jesus Christ, the Crucified.
