Behold the Christian Warrior Stand

Author: James Mongtomery Hymnal: HOoS1926 #511 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Christian warrior stand In all the armor of his God; The Spirit’s sword is in his hand; His feet are with the gospel shod; 2 In panoply of truth complete, Salvation’s helmet on his head, With righteousness a breastplate meet, And faith’s broad shield before him spread. 3 Undaunted to the field he goes; Yet vain were skill and valor there, Unless, to foil his legion foes, He takes the trustiest weapon, prayer. 4 Thus, strong in his Redeemer’s strength, Sin, death, and hell he tramples down; Fights the good fight, and wins at length, Through mercy, an immortal crown. Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Trinity, Twenty-first Sunday; Christian Soldiers; Spiritual Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

I Gave My Life for Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Hymnal: HOoS1926 #512 (1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That Thou might'st ransomed be, And quickened from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou giv'n for Me? I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou giv'n for Me? 2 My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? 3 I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitterest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? 4 And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Holy Week; Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE

The Roseate Hues of Early Dawn

Author: Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander Hymnal: HOoS1926 #513 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! O for the pearly gates of heav'n! O for the golden floor! O for the Sun of Righteousness That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white! O for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, And grace to lead us higher: But there are perfectness and peace Beyond our great desire. O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down, O that we fall not from Thy grace, Nor cast away our crown! Amen.

Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings

Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: HOoS1926 #514 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Tow'rds heav'n, thy native place. Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So my soul that came from God Longs to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven!

Still, Still with Thee, When Purple Morning Breaketh

Author: Harriet Elizabeth (Beecher) Stowe Hymnal: HOoS1926 #515 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee! 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee, in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath the wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O for that hour when fairer than the dawning Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee!

Author: Prof. Victor Olof Peterson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #516 (1926) Meter: 7.6.4.4.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 My heart is yearning ever To reach a place of rest. Jerusalem, My happy home, In Thee my heart shall never By sin or grief be pressed. My heart is yearning ever To reach that city blest. 2 Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. God’s city bright Gives all delight; No grief nor wail of mortals Is heard where He is near. Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. 3 Their blessèd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them In peace and joy, Without alloy, For sin can enter never The new Jerusalem. Their blessèd Lord and Saviour Doth rule and govern them. 4 Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar; O city of The God of love, Where no more earthly worry My happiness shall mar! Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar! 5 And even I shall conquer In Jesus’ Name and might;. Though weak and faint, Yet as a saint, I’ll in the haven anchor, Sweet haven of delight. Yea, even I shall conquer, In Jesus’ Name and might. Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration Languages: English Tune Title: I DJUPET AF MITT HJÄRTA

Where Is the Friend for Whom I'm Ever Yearning?

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Charles William Schæffer Hymnal: HOoS1926 #517 (1926) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 His hand I see in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; In every breath I draw, my spirit burneth: His love discerneth. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I'm near Him; But nearer still when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet, to hide Him, oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the Source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Be strong, my soul; hope, pray, await His favor, And thou shalt know the sweetness of thy Saviour; When in His gentle arms secure He holds thee, His love enfolds thee. 7 Soon on that shore where stormy wave ne'er breaketh The weary dove its final refuge taketh; The timorous lamb shall by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest forever. Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration Languages: English Tune Title: O DU GUDS LAM

O Precious Thought! Some Day the Mist Shall Vanish

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, (1816-1868) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #518 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 O precious thought! Some day the mist shall vanish; Some day the web of gloom shall be unspun. A day shall break whose beams the night shall banish, For Christ, the Lamb, shall shine, the glorious Sun! 2 O precious thought! No more will faith be anguished By doubt's uncertainties, by trembling fears. The pangs that wound the heart shall all be vanquished, And light shall flood the gloom of bygone years. 3 Some day each mystery shall find solution, Each troublous question an undimmed reply. The hidden deeps that now seem all confusion My God will open up and clarify. 4 O precious thought! With vision all unclouded, The One whom I believed shall I behold. Now from my sight His hallowed form is shrouded, Then He shall fill my soul with bliss untold. 5 Some day I'll see my ever-faithful Saviour, Who pardoned all my sin in boundless grace. Here clouds of trial oft obscure His favor, There I'll behold the brightness of His face. 6 O precious thought! All sinless, pure, and holy, By flesh and Satan nevermore oppressed. My thoughts and deeds shall glorify Him solely, Who brought my soul unto His perfect rest. 7 The saints of God, all clad in spotless raiment, Before the Lamb shall wave victorious palms. For bliss eternal Christ has rendered payment, Earth's tearful strains give way to joyous psalms. 8 I pray Thee, O my precious Saviour, waken These hallowed thoughts of Paradise in me, And let them solace me, till I am taken To dwell in Salem evermore with Thee. Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration; Names and Office of Christ Light; Names and Office of Christ Sun Languages: English Tune Title: O SÄLLA LAND
