Be strong ye brethren in the Lord!

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Be strong ye brethren in the Lord! Ye children of the light, And be ye evermore prepar'd, Your enemies to fight. 2 put on the armour of your God, The victory to gain; We wrestle not with flesh and blood, As are the sons of men. 3 But we must have a constant war, Whilst we dwell here below; With Gods and princes of the air, And all of Satan's crew. 4 O! let us ever watch and pray And guard on ev'ry hand; Be ready for the evil day, And able to withstand. 5 Be sure to stand and never yield: Move not in any wise; But stand your ground and gain the field: Likewise the heav'nly prize. 6 The only weapons we can have To fight our greatest foes: Are they which the Almighty gave For christian men to use. 7 His holy word and living faith, And the bless'd spirit's aid! Are weapons which the christian hath To make his foes afraid. Topics: 21st Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17 Languages: English

I'm call'd to camp to leave my home

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCXXIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I'm call'd to camp to leave my home, My friends and neighbours too: And there await my fate and doom, As many others do. 2 I march into the martial field, And there to risk my life! Where men their bloody weapons wield For battle, war and strife. 3 They, who to me are near and dear, They weep, they grieve and morn, They live in dread and doubt and fear That I might ne'er return. 4 Should this not fill a human breast? And bear upon the mind; I cannot help but feel distress'd, For those I leave behind. 5 But so it is, I must submit, What e'er my lot may be: To bear the trials I must meet; My Jesus strengthen me! 6 the sad effect of war I feel, For sin my just reward; Yet if it be my Maker's will, My life may still be spar'd. 7 Lord, be with all of mine I pray, And all of my concern! And make us wise from day to day, Thy righteous will to learn. Topics: Military Hymns An Officer or Soldier leaving his home Languages: English

Be thou my troubled soul at peace

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Be thou my troubled soul at peace, And let thy sorrows end; Remember Christ, thy Saviour is: Thy brother and thy friend. 2 Should Satan, sin and world upbraid Thy doubts and fears to raise; Let not their threats make thee afraid, Or doubt of pard'ning grace. 3 He knows thy wants and thy complaints, Should he awhile forbear; Remember that the greatest saints Had many doubts and fears. 4 Should God appear from thee to hide, And all thy pray'rs disdain: Yet shall his love to thee abide, And shew his face again. 5 The bruised reed will he not break, The broken heart he heals' He pities such for Jesus' sake, Who for their sorrows feels. 6 He will not quench the smoking flax, But as his promise saith: The troubled mind will he not vex, But help the weak in faith. 7 Were all the pow'rs of darkness join'd, To take thy peace away, In Christ the feeble saint shall find; Such faith as gains the day.

Be ye not indolent

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCLXXXV (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Be ye not indolent, Who would be heirs of grace; Ye must not make yourselves content, Till ye have run your race. 2 Ye are to watch and pray, To pray and never cease; To grow in grace from day to day, And gain true holiness. 3 Your sins must be subdu'd With all your carnal lusts; Ye cannot serve the living God, And grovel in the dust. 4 It would be all in vain, And mocking of the word; Should you embrace the world again, And turn from Christ your Lord. 5 Should ye in vain receive The blessed gospel light! And suffer Satan to deceive, To lead you in the night! 6 Yield not to Satan's pow'r, Since Jesus set you free; But watch and pray for evermore, And gain the victory.

Behold, O God, what cruel foes

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, O God, what cruel foes, Thy peaceful heritage invade; Thy holy temple stands defil'd, In dust thy sacred walls are laid. 2 Wise o'er the valleys, drench'd in blood, Thy people fall'n in death remain; The fowls of heav'n their flesh devour, And savage beasts divide the slain. 3 The insulting foes, with impious rage, Reproach thy children to their face; "Where is your God of boasted pow'r, And where the promise of his grace." 4 Deep from the prison's horrid glooms, Oh hear the mournful captive sigh, And let thy sov'reign pow'r reprieve, The trembling souls condemn'd to die. 5 Let those, who dar'd insult thy reign, Return dismay'd with endless shame, While heathens, who by thy grace despise Shall from thy vengeance learn thy name. 6 So shall thy children, freed from death, Eternal songs of honour raise, And ev'ry future age shall tell, Thy sov'reign pow'r and pard'ning grace.

Behold the lofty sky

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XIX.I (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the lofty sky Declares its maker God, And all the starry works on high Proclaim his pow'r abroad. 2 The darkness and the light Still keep their course the same; While night to day and day to night Divinely teach his name. 3 In ev'ry diff'rent land Their gen'ral voice is known; They show the wonders of his hand, And orders of his throne. 4 Ye Christian lands, rejoice Here he reveals his word; We are not left to nature’s voice To bid us know the Lord. 5 His statutes and commands Are set before our eyes, He puts his Gospel in our hands, Where our salvation lies. 6 His laws are just and pure, His truth without deceit; His promises for ever sure And his rewards are great. 7 Not honey to the taste Affords so much delight; Nor gold that has the furnace pass'd So much allures the sight. 8 While of thy works I sing, Thy glory to proclaim, Accept the praise, my God, my King In my Redeemer’s name.

Behold the love, the gen'rous love

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the love, the gen'rous love, That holy David shows; Behold his kind compassion move For his afflicted foes. 2 When they are sick, his soul complains, And seems to feel the smart; The spirit of the gospel reigns, And melts his pious heart. 3 How did his flowing tears condole As for a brother dead! And fasting mortify'd his soul, While for their life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curst him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns. 5 O glorious type of heav’nly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, their Saviour prays, And pities them with tears. 6 He, the true David, Isra'l’s King, Blest and belov'd of God, To save us rebels dead in sin, Paid his own dearest blood.

Behold the morning sun

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XIX.II (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 9 Behold the morning sun Begins his glorious way; His beams through all the nations run, And life and light convey. 10 But where the gospel comes, It spreads diviner light, It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 11 How perfect is thy word! And all thy judgments just, For ever sure thy promise, Lord, And men securely trust. 12 My gracious God, how plain Are thy directions giv’n! O may I never read in vain, But find the path to heav’n! 13 I heard thy word with love, And I would fain obey: Send thy good spirit from above To guide me lest I stray. 14 O who can ever find The errors of his ways? Yet with a bold presumptuous mind I would not dare transgress. 15 Warn me of ev'ry sin, Forgive my secret faults, And cleanse this guilty soul of mine, Whose crimes exceed my thoughts. 16 While with my heart and tongue I spread thy praise abroad; Accept the worship and the song, My Saviour and my God.

Behold us, Lord, and let our cry

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, and let our cry Before thy throne ascend, Cast thou on us a pitying eye, And still our lives defend. 2 For slaught'ring foes insult us round, Oppressive, proud and vain, They cast thy temples to the ground, And all our rites profane. 3 Yet thy forgiving grace we trust, And in thy pow'r rejoice: Thine arm shall crush our foes to dust, Thy praise inspire our voice. 4 Be thou with those whose friendly hand Upheld us in distress, Extend thy truth through ev'ry land, And still thy people bless.

Beware, the Saviour gave command

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beware, the Saviour gave command, And watch ye unto pray'r; That ye be wise and understand! The teachers ye may hear. 2 Our Lord declares that such shall come, Who show a pious face; That they would come, and would presume, To take the Saviour's place. 3 They would appear like lambs without, But rav'nous Wolves within! They teach and pray, and act devout: Yet all they do is sin. 4 Their doctrine is deceit and fraud, And of a dang'rous kind; They do not teach the truth of God, But please the carnal mind. 5 The truth in Jesus they deny, It answers not their end; Their pride and lusts to crucify Is not what they intend. 6 As grapes on thorns have never grown, Or figs from thistles shot; Just so false doctrines ne'er was known, Produce the spirits fruit. 7 The good or evil tree we know, When of its fruit we taste; Thus we may prove the doctrine too, To see its fruit at last. 8 Not ev'ry one that sayeth Lord, Shall enter into heav'n-- But they who love and keep the word, To them it shall be giv'n.
