As Saints of Old

Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Steadfastness First Line: As saints of old their first fruits brought Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their first fruits brought of vineyard, flock, and field to God, the giver of all good, the source of bounteous yield; so we today our first fruits bring, the wealth of this good land, of farm, and market, shop and home, of mind, and heart, and hand. 2 A world in need now summons us to labor, love, and give; to make our life an offering that others too may live. The church of Christ is calling us to make the dream come true: a world redeemed by Christ-like love; all life in Christ made new. 3 With gratitude and humble trust we bring our best today to serve your cause and share your love with all along life's way. O God, who gave yourself to us in Jesus Christ your Son, help us to give ourselves each day until life's work is done. Scripture: Exodus 23:16-19 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, And all error overthrow. 3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me By the true and living way; Shield me from each strong temptation, That might lead my heart astray; And if e'er my feet should turn, For each error let me mourn. 4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within me perfect, Help me by Thy Word so true, Arm me with that sword of Thine, And the victory shall be mine. 5 In the faith, O make me steadfast; Let not Satan, death, or shame, Of my confidence deprive me; Lord, my refuge is Thy name. When the flesh inclines to ill, Let Thy Word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour is nearing, Oh, assure me ever more, As the chosen heir of heaven, Of that bliss for me in store, Greater far than tongue can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,059 hymnals Topics: Christians Steadfastness of Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower 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 flowery 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, By faith they bring it nigh. 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. Amen. Used With Tune: DURING
