Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #455 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears, And gird the Gospel armor on, March to the gates of endless joy, Where Jesus thy great Captain’s gone. 2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course; But hell and sin are vanquish'd foes; Thy Saviour nail'd them to the cross, And sang the triumph when He rose. 3 Then let my soul march boldly on,-- Press forward to the heavenly gate; There peace and joy eternal reign, And glitt’ring robes for conq'rors wait. 4 There shall I wear a starry crown, And triumph in almighty grace, While all the armies of the skies Join in my glorious Leader’s praise.

Am I a soldier of the cross

Hymnal: BW1870 #456 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies, On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sail'd through bloody seas. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

And let enlighten'd zeal be join'd With perfect charity. 4 Oh, may I love like Thee! In all Thy footsteps tread; Thou hatest all inquity, But nothing Thou hast made. 5 Oh, may I learn the art, With meekness to reprove! And hate the sin with all my heart, But still the sinner love.

Sweet was the time when first I felt

Hymnal: BW1870 #459 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd, His praises tuned my tongue; And when the evening shades prevail'd, His love was all my song. 3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord, And saw His glory shine; And, when I read His holy word, I call'd each promise mine. 4 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 5 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail, Oh, come without delay!

Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay

Hymnal: BW1870 #460 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay, Though I have done Thee such despite; Cast not a sinner quite away, Nor take Thine everlasting flight. 2 Though I have steel'd my stubborn heart, Oft shaken off my guilty fears, And vex'd and urged Thee to depart, For many long rebellious years; 3 Though I have most unfaithful been Of all who e'er Thy grace received, Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved; 4 Yes, oh, the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High-Priest; Nor in Thy righteous anger swear T'exclude me from Thy people's rest. 5 This only woe I deprecate, This only plague I pray remove, Nor leave me in my lost estate, Nor curse me with this want of love. 6 E'en now my weary soul release, Upraise me with Thy gracious hand, And guide into Thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promised land.

Affliction is a stormy deep

Hymnal: BW1870 #462 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er my head the billows roll, I know the Lord can save. 2 The hand that now withholds my joys Can reinstate my peace; And He who bade the tempest roar, Can bid that tempest cease. 3 In the dark watches of the night, I'll count His mercies o'er; I'll praise Him for ten thousand past, And humbly sue for more. 4 When darkness and when sorrows rose And press'd on every side, The Lord has still sustain'd my steps, And still has been my guide. 5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at His rod; He's more than all the world to me, My health, my life, my God!

God of my life, to Thee I call!

Hymnal: BW1870 #463 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call! Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor! 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee, And Thou refuse that mourner’s plea? Does not Thy word still fix'd remain, That none shall seek Thy face in vain! 4 Poor thou I am--despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

When languor and disease invade

Hymnal: BW1870 #464 (1870) Lyrics: 1 When languor and disease invade This trembling house of clay, ’Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away. 2 Sweet to look inward, and attend The whispers of His love; Sweet to look upward to the place Where Jesus pleads above. 3 Sweet to look back, and see my name In life’s fair book set down; Sweet to look forward and behold Eternal joys my own. 4 Sweet to reflect how grace divine My sins on Jesus laid; Sweet to remember that His blood My debt of suffering paid.
