Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #491 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
and press with vigor on;
A heavenly race demands your zeal,
and an immortal crown,
and an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
holds you in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
and onward urge your way
and onward urge your way.
3 For God's all-animating voice
still calls us to the race;
And God's own hand still gives the prize
with never-ending grace,
with never-ending grace.
4 O Savior, shown the way by you,
I have my race begun;
And, crowned with victory, at your feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.

Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: Timeless Truths #492 Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 “Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 “To you, in David’s town, this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:
4 “The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.”
5 Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high,
Who thus addressed their song:
6 “All glory be to God on high,
And to the Earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heav’n to men
Begin and never cease!” Scripture: Luke 2:8-9 Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

Our God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #518 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!
And our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same,
To endless years the same.
4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day,
Dies at the opening day.
5 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home!
And our eternal home!

Awake my soul; stretch every nerve
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #535 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul; stretch every nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice,
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the prize
To thine uplifted eye;--
4 That prize, with peerless glories bright,
Which shall new lustre boast,
When victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems
Shall blend in common dust.

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
Our souls are in His mighty hand
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #553a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Our souls are in His mighty hand,
And He shall keep them still;
And you and I shall surely stand
With Him on Zion's hill.
2 Him eye to eye we there shall see;
Our face like His shall shine:
Oh! what a glorious company,
When saints and angels join!
3 Oh! what a joyful meeting there!
In robes of white arrayed,
Palms in our hands we all shall bear,
And crowns upon our head.
4 Then let us lawfully contend,
And fight our passage through;
Bear in our faithful minds the end,
And keep the prize in view.
5 Then let us hasten to the day
When all shall be brought home;
Come, O Redeemer, come away!
O Jesus, quickly come! Topics: Conflict (see also Warfare) Christian's; The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity; Heaven Reunion in ; Heaven Christ in ; Life Hid with Christ; Reunion Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
