Awake, our Souls, away our Fears
Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Courage and Constancy; Persevering Grace; Spiritual Race; Strength from Heaven; Victory of Christ over Satan; Zeal in the Christian Race Lyrics: 1 Awake our Souls, (away our Fears,
Let ev'ry trembling Thought be gone)
Awake, and run the heav'nly Race,
And put a chearful Courage on.
2 True, 'tis a straight and thorny Road,
And mortal Spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
That feeds the Strength of ev'ry Saint.
3 O mighty God, whose matchless Pow'r
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 heav'nly Road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31
Awake, our Souls, away our Fears
O God of Every Nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Brotherhood/Sisterhood; Commitment; Courage; God Power/Might; Guidance; Healing; Justice; Kingdom of God; Nation; Peace (World); Penitence; Petition; Social Concerns; Strength; Work and Recreation; World; Advent 1 Year A; Proper 24 Year A; Advent 1 Year B; Advent 3 Year C; Epiphany 7 Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 15 Year C; All Saints Year C; Proper 28 Year C Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Give strength to those who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling sabre,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
your still small voice be heard:
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

Strength to the troubled heart, we come
Author: David Sparks, 20th cent. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Courage; Loneliness; Resurrection; Sacraments and Ordinances Funeral; Strength 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.

My God, my everlasting hope,
I live upon thy truth;
Thine hands have held my childhood up,
And strengthened all my youth.
My flesh was fashioned by thy power,
With all these limbs of mine;
And from my mother's painful hour,
I've been entirely thine.
Still has my life new wonders seen
Repeated every year;
Behold, my days that yet remain,
I trust them to thy care.
Cast me not off when strength declines,
When hoary hairs arise;
And round me let thy glory shine,
Whene'er thy servant dies.
Then in the hist'ry of my age,
When men review my days,
They'll read thy love in every page,
In every line thy praise.

My Savior, my almighty Friend,
When I begin thy praise,
Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?
Thou art my everlasting trust,
Thy goodness I adore;
And since I knew thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.
My feet shall travel all the length
Of the celestial road,
And march with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father God.
When I am filled with sore distress
For some surprising sin,
I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
And mention none but thine.
How will my lips rejoice to tell
The vict'ries of my King!
My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.
My tongue shall all the day proclaim
My Savior and my God;
His death has brought my foes to shame,
And drowned them in his blood.
Awake, awake, my tuneful powers;
With this delightful song
I'll entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.

God of my childhood and my youth,
The guide of all my days,
I have declared thy heav'nly truth,
And told thy wondrous ways.
Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart?
Who shall sustain my sinking years,
If God my strength depart?
Let me thy power and truth proclaim
To the surviving age;
And leave a savor of thy name
When I shall quit the stage.
The land of silence and of death
Attends my next remove;
O may these poor remains of breath
Teach the wide world thy love!
Thy righteousness is deep and high,
Unsearchable thy deeds;
Thy glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all my praise exceeds.
Oft have I heard thy threat'nings roar,
And oft endured the grief;
But when thy hand has pressed me sore,
Thy grace was my relief.
By long experience have I known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command I venture down
Securely to the grave.
When I lie buried deep in dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
These withering limbs with thee I trust,
To raise them strong and fair.
Scripture: Psalm 71:17-21

Not to the terrors of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Courage in death; Hope of resurrection; Resurrection of the saints; Death and the resurrection; Resurrection and death; Aged saint's reflection and hope; Christ our strength and righteousness; Old age and resurrection; Psalm for old age; Righteousness from Christ; Strength from Christ Lyrics:
Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God,
Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.
Behold th' innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight!
Behold the blest assembly there
Whose names are writ in heav'n!
And God, the Judge of all, declares
Their vilest sins forgiv'n.
The saints on earth and all the dead
But one communion make;
All join in Christ their living Head,
And of his grace partake.
In such society as this
My weary soul would rest;
The man that dwells where Jesus is
Must be for ever blest.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:18
Not to the terrors of the Lord
