O Christ, I Will Endeavor
Author: H. T. Mark Hymnal: The Endeavor Hymnal #157 (1901) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1. O Christ, I will endeavor
To serve Thee day by day;
Help me to make Thee ever
My Life, my Truth, my Way.
When in my breast Thou burnest,
My thot's grow pure and bright,
My words are calm and earnest,
And all seems good and right.
2. Go with me, God my Saviour,
Go with me ev'ry hour;
Control my whole behavior
By Thy full Spirit's pow'r.
Uplift, and heal, and gladden,
Myself and others, Lord;
May nought that's in me sadden
Those here that love Thy word.
3. Why should I not be willing
To serve Thee with my days,
When Thou art ever filling
My soul with joy and praise?
Why should I not show others
The Light divine in Thee?
Why should not all my brothers
See what Thou art to me? Languages: English Tune Title: LYMINGTON
O Christ, I Will Endeavor
Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Concordia #168 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross 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 flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vain 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 victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON
Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Jesus, I my Cross have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Concordia #171 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my All shall be:
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Savior, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me:
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me,
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal days before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMN

And in Thee we will confide,

Melt our heart with grace and love.

With faith's discerning eye.

And all Thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Languages: English
