Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 1,052 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands your zeal,
and an immortal crown,
and an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
hold you in full survey;
forget the steps already trod,
and onward urge your way,
and onward urge your way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
that calls you from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to your aspiring eye,
to your aspiring eye.
4 That prize with peerless glories bright,
which shall new luster boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems
shall blend in common dust,
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Savior, introduced by you,
have I my race begun;
and, crowned with vict'ry, at your feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.

Savior, Blessed Savior
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 328 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 Savior, blessed Savior, listen while we sing;
hearts and voices raising praises to our King:
all we have we offer, all we hope to be,
body, soul, and spirit, all we yield to thee.
2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ we draw to thee,
deep in adoration, bending low the knee;
thou for our redemption cam'st on earth to die;
thou, that we might follow, hast gone up on high.
3 Great and ever greater, are thy mercies here;
true and everlasting are the glories there,
where no pain nor sorrow, fear nor care, is known,
where the angel legions circle round thy throne.
4 Higher then, and higher, bear the ransomed soul,
earthly toils forgotten - Savior, to its goal;
where, in joys unthought of, saints with angels sing,
never weary, raising praises to their King.

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.

love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference,
as faith and hope are born again.

step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.

to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.

to taste and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new. Used With Tune: BEGINNINGS
