Sammis Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #31 (1913) First Line: Be up, my soul, and doing Refrain First Line: Study to show thyself approved unto God Lyrics: 1 Be up, my soul, and doing, Be strong in the Spirit’s might, A faithful workman showing Thyself in the Master’s sight. Refrain: Study to show thyself approved unto God A workman that needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 The shield of truth is o’er Him, His mail is resistless light, He’s not ashamed before Him, Who handles the Word aright. [Refrain] 3 If thou, in the day of glory, Would stand in His sight approved, Hold fast the old, old story, And ne’er from the Rock be moved. [Refrain] 4 The Word of truth dividing, With prayer unto God its source, Heed not the world’s deriding, Hold straight in the Word thy course. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Be up, my soul, and doing]
