Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,839 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From vict'ry unto vict'ry, His army He shall lead, Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this His glorious day: Ye that are men, now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory, Shall reign eternally. Amen.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, (1672-1737) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 628 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign; Thro' sorrow or thro' joy, Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, "My Lord, Thy will be done!" 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear: Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly, And leaning on Thee, go Where Thou before hast gone,-- The rest as Thou shalt please; My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done. Amen.

While with Ceaseless Course the Sun

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 591 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Nevermore to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the wingèd arrow flies Speedily, the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream: Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy Word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Amen.
