Onward, Christian Soldiers

Chorus: Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity. [Chorus] 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain; Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. [Chorus] 4 Onward, then, ye people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song: Glory, laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King: This thro' countless ages, Men and angels sing.

Behold a Stranger at the Door

Author: Joesph Grigg Appears in 626 hymnals First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Hath waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 3 Admit Him, for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest; No mortal tongue their joys can tell, With whom He condescends to dwell. 4 Yet know, nor of the terms complain, If Jesus comes, He comes to reign,-- To reign, and with no partial sway: Thoughts must be slain that disobey. 5 Sovereign of souls, Thou Prince of Peace, O may Thy gentle reign increase: Throw wide the door, each willing mind; And be His empire all mankind.

How Helpless Guilty Nature Lies

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, Almighty Savior, Thine To form the heart anew. 3 ’Tis Thine the passions to recall, And upwards bid them rise; And make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes. 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live, A beam of heaven, a vital ray ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be Thine. Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Justification Used With Tune: AZMON

Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer, Something for Thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart, Likeness to Thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wand'rer sought and won, Something for Thee. 4 All that I am and have, Thy gifts so free, In joy, in grief, through life, O Lord, for Thee. And when Thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be, Through all eternity, Something for Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ; Youth Used With Tune: EDEN

See the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conquerer mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel-voices Joyful halleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory; He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has crushed His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends, While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends, He who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels, Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.
