Christians, Rise, Put On Your Armor

Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Brorson; J. Falkner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, rise, put on your armor; Men of Christ, assume your part. Satan, still the crafty charmer, Trains his host in all his art. As your sword Use God's Word, Hell is battling 'gainst the Lord. 2 Follow Christ, your great Commander, Lean upon His mighty arm; Satan, armed with guile and slander, Aims to do you naught but harm. Have no fear Christ is near, He as victor shall appear. 3 With the cross of Christ to lead you, Press ye onward in the strife. He who by the cross has freed you Fills the faintest heart with life, For each wound Balm is found In the joy of victors crowned. 4 Many hearts are filled with yearning And have yet no solace found. Men to God but partly turning Find that fear and woes abound. God will bless When the flesh By His Spirit we suppress. 5 Crowns are won by true endeavor, As all saints have testified. They have overcome forever, Strengthened by the Lamb that died. Likewise we Cannot be From the Christian's trials free. 6 Though our flesh to dust be turning, If our souls in God remain, On a glorious Easter morning Day for us shall break again. Easter day Holding sway, Death must yield its mighty prey. 7 Then the host of Christ shall gather At His throne a ransomed throng, Offering thanks to God, the Father, And to Christ salvation's song. Every tongue Shall this song Through eternity prolong. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Warfare; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: NEANDER

When the Judge shall come for Judgment, And our deeds are brought to light, Fearful we shall lift our voices In the middle of the night-- Holy, Holy, Holy Thou, With Thy mercy bless us now.

Let Us Sing, for We have Reason

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us sing, for we have reason; Let us join with those above; Praise is never out of season; Let us praise the God of love; We have cause, indeed, to sing, Jesus is our glorious King. 2 When we reach the full enjoyment Of the state where sorrows end; Praise will be our sweet employment, We shall praise the sinner’s friend; Him who washed us with His blood, Saved, and brought us nigh to God. 3 But how diff’rent then our praises From the thanks we render now! Well our coldness may amaze us, When we think how much we owe; But no coldness will remain When that glorious state we gain. 4 Yet our Lord accepts our praises, Offered while we sojourn here; He on whom th’archangel gazes With delight and holy fear, Hears His people when they sing, And accepts the praise they bring.

Thee, O Christ, the Father’s splendor, Life and virtue of the heart, In the presence of the angels Sing we now with tuneful art, Meetly in alternate chorus, Bearing our responsive part. 2.

By whose watchful care repelling— King of everlasting grace— Every ghostly adversary, All things evil, all things base, Grant us of Thine only goodness, In Thy paradise a place. 4. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run.

Now, My Soul, Thy Voice Upraising

Author: Claude de Santeüil Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless, was for sinners slain. 2 Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. 3 See! His hands and feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be: Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. 4 Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery; Water, from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood, to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesus, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our present healing, And at length our great reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord. Amen.

Nothing Know We of the Season

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Nothing know we of the season When the world shall pass away; But we know, the saints have reason To expect a glorious day; When the Savior shall return, And His people cease to mourn. 2. While a careless world is sleeping, Then it is the day will come; Mirth will then be turned to weeping, Sinners then must meet their doom; But the people of the Lord Shall obtain their bright reward. 3. O what sacred joys await them! They shall see the Savior then; Those who now oppose and hate them Never can oppose again; Brethren, let us think of this: All is ours, if we are His. 4. Waiting for the Lord’s returning, Be it ours His word to keep; Let our lamps be always burning; Let us watch while others sleep; We’re no longer of the night; We are children of the light. 5. Being of the favored number Whom the Savior calls His own, ’Tis not meet that we should slumber, Nothing should be left undone: This should be His people’s aim, Still to glorify His name!
