Awake my zeal, awake my love

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake my zeal, awake my love, And serve my Saviour here below, In works which all the saints above, Which holy angels cannot do. 2 My faith and hope may see the Lord, Though veils of darkness lie between; Hope shall rest firm upon his word, And faith rejoice in things unseen. 3 Awake my charity, and feed The hungry soul and clothe the poor; In heav'n are found no sons in need, There all these duties are no more. 4 Subdue thy passions, O my soul Maintain the fight, the work pursue, Daily thy rising sins controul, And be thy vict'ries ever new. 5 The land of triumph lies on high, There are no fields of battle there, Lord I would conquer till I die, And finish all the glorious war. 6 Let every flying hour confess I gain thy gospel fresh renown; And when my life and labours cease, May I possess the promis'd crown.

Oh, for a closer walk with God!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,390 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God! A calm and heav'nly frame! A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left and aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to bear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

How great, how solemn is the work

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great, how solemn is the work, Which we attend to day! Now for a holy, solemn frame, O God, to thee we pray. 2 O may we feel as once we felt, When pain'd and grive'd at heart; Thy kind, forgiving, melting look, Reliev'd our every smart. 3 Let grace which then was exercis'd, Be exercis'd again; And, nurtur'd by celestial power, In exercise remain. 4 Awake our love, our fear, our hope, Wake fortitude and joy; Vain world begone; let things above, Our happy thoughts employ. 5 Whilst thee, our Saviour and our Lord, To all around we own; Drive each rebellious, rival lust, Each traitor from the throne. 6 Instruct our minds, our wills subdue, To heaven our passions raise; That hence our lives, our all may be Devoted to thy praise.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 458 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait, Observant of his heavenly word, And watchful at his gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins, as in his sight, For awful is his name. 3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command; And while we speak, he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honour crown'd. 5 Christ shall the banquet spread With his own bounteous hand, And raise that favorite servant's head Amidst th' angelic band. Scripture: Luke 12:35-38
