I am content! I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my head; His member I shall be. He bowed his head when on the cross he died With cries of agony. Now death is brought into subjection For me too by his resurrection. I am content! I am content! 3 I am content! My Jesus is my light, My radiant sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all, Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter sun has brought salvation And everlasting exultation. I am content! I am content! 4 I am content! At length I shall be free, Awakened from the dead, Arising glorious evermore to be With you, my living head. My Lord, earth's binding fetters sever, Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content! I am content! Used With Tune: ES IST GENUG

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James W. Johnson, 1871-1938 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Journey, Pilgrimage First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; thou who hast by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee; lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land. Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING

Soldiers of the cross, arise!

Author: Jared B. Waterbury Appears in 131 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise! Lo! your Leader from the skies Waves before you glory's prize, Prize of victory. Seize your armor, gird it on; Soon the battle will be won; See! the strife is almost done; Struggle manfully. 2 Now the fight of faith begin, Be no more the slaves of sin, Strive the victor's palm to win, Trusting in the Lord: Gird ye on the armor bright, Warriors of the King of light, Never yield, nor lose by flight Your divine reward. 3 Jesus conquered when he fell, Met and vanquished sin and hell; Now he bids his followers tell Triumphs of his cross. Though the evil hosts appear, Who can doubt, or who can fear? God, our strength and shield, is near; Can we suffer loss? 4 Onward, then, ye hosts of God! Jesus points the victor's rod; Follow where your Leader trod; Soon you'll see his face. Soon, your enemies all slain, Crowns of glory you shall gain, Soon you'll join that glorious train Shouting Jesus' praise. Used With Tune: CALEDONIA

If by his guidance I shall live, whatever's useful he will give, and naught can injure me. 3 To those I love he will be near, their heart with bounteous gifts will cheer; he is my shield and theirs; and he will grant beyond our thought what they and I alike have sought with all our fervent prayers. 4 Then let me never be afraid, but trust in him who all has made; on him reliant rest. Through life, wherever I may go, my loving God will always know what for my need is best. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-11 Used With Tune: TRAVELLER
