We sing the praise of Him who died

Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: LHPN1913 #483 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross; The sinner's hope let all deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, God is love; He bears our sins upon the tree, He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross, it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up, It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight, It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.

Weary of earth and laden with my sin

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: LHPN1913 #484 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth and laden with my sin, I look to heaven and long to enter in, But there no evil thing may find a home; And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come!" 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear, His are the hands stretched out to draw me near; And His the blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 ’Twas He who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 6 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in the Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 7 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord, Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down. 8 Naught can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe, Yet let my full heart what it can bestow; Myself my gift, let my devotion prove, Forgiven greatly, how greatly I love.

The battle ne’er give o’er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore. 3 Ne’er think the victory won, Nor lay thine armor down; Thine arduous work will not be done, Till thou obtain the crown. 4 Fight on, my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy God! He’ll take thee, at thy parting breath Up to His blest abode.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do; On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 Give me a true regard, A single, steady aim, Unmoved by threatening or reward, To Thee and Thy great name; A jealous, just concern For Thine immortal praise; A pure desire that all may learn And glorify Thy grace. 3 I rest upon Thy word; The promise is for me; My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee; But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Hymnal: LHPN1913 #488 (1913) Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear-- All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge!-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #489 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armour on; Strong in the strength which God supplies, Through His eternal Son. 2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in His mighty power; Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. 3 Stand then in His great might, With all His strength endued; And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God; 4 From strength to strength go on, Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the pow'rs of darkness down, And win the well-fought day. 5 That having all things done And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone, And stand complete at last.

Am I a soldier of the cross

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #490 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower 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 flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed 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 view 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 victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: LHPN1913 #491 (1913) Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky; And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on His tongue; In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A noble band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame; They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the stroke to feel; Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.

Behold a host, arrayed in white

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #492 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand--Who are this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame; Now gathered in the holy place Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell, 'Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned they sojourned here, But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand, a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above the God of love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is host and guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong!
