Soldiers of Christ, arise

Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1 Used With Tune: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

Speed Thy Servants, Saviour, Speed Them

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Commissioning of Missionaries Lyrics: 1 Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them, Ruler of the winds and waves, They were bound, but Thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves. Be Thou with them, be Thou with them, 'Tis Thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking, Lord, they go at Thy command, As their stay Thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land: O be with them, O be with them, Lead them safely by the hand. 3 When no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain, Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain. Thus supported, Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 4 In the midst of opposition Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee; When success attends their mission, Let Thy servants humbler be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till Thy face in heaven they see: Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE
