Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Thro' His eternal Son;
2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power:
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
4 That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome throough Christ alone
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle and fight and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry,
In all his soldiers, "Come,"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And takes the conqueror home. Used With Tune: SILVER STREET

Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Author: John Needham Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
By ancient worthies trod;
Aspiring, view those holy men
Who lived and walked with God.
2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear,
And in example live;
Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds,
Still fresh instruction give.
3 ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood
They conquered every foe;
To His power and matchless grace
Their crowns of life they owe.
4 Lord, may I ever keep in view
The patterns Thou hast giv'n,
And ne’er forsake the blessèd road
That led them safe to heav'n. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON (Artaxerxes)

And seek an injured Father’s face;
Those warm desires that in thee burn,
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek a Father’s melting heart;
His pitying eyes thy grief discern,
His hand can heal thy inward smart.
3 Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Savior bids thy spirit live;
Go to His bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe away the falling tear:
’Tis God who says, "No longer mourn,"
’Tis mercy’s voice invites thee near. Used With Tune: MALVERN
Return, O wanderer, return
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,024 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity, to Thee
A grateful song I'll raise;
But oh! eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise. Used With Tune: ST. PETER
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care
Whether we die or live;
To love and serve Thee be our share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
Whoever to God's kingdom comes,
Must enter by this door.
3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
4 There shall we end our sad complaints,
And weary sinful days;
And join with the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.
5 Our knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And we shall be with him. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

And fixed the starry lights on high.
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat His mercies in your song.

He bids the moon direct the night:

From guilt, and darkness, and the grave.
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat His mercies in your song.
6 Through this vain world He guides our feet,
And leads us to His heavenly seat;

When this vain world shall be no more. Used With Tune: MIGDOL

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,055 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A foll'wer 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 flow'ry 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.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
With faith's discerning eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine,
In robes of vict'ry through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
Am I soldier of the cross
Go to dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss,
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calv'ry'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:
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb,
Where they laid His breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes!

Go to dark Gethsemane
My soul, repeat His praise
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 471 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
3 His grace subdues our sins,
And His forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west
Doth all our guilt remove.
4 The pity of the Lord
To those who fear His name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
5 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower!
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
6 But Thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure. Used With Tune: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525

He gently knocks-- has knock'd before,
Has waited long-- is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 O lovely attitude, He stands
With melting heart and loaded hands!
O matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes!
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very friend you need;
The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Admit Him ere His anger burn;
His feet, departed, ne'er return;
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
You'll at His door rejected stand. Used With Tune: BEETHOVEN
Behold a stranger at the door!
