Now, my soul, thy voice upraising

Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain, How the Crucified enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless was for sinners slain. 2 Scourged with unrelenting fury, For the sins which we deplore, By His livid Stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. 3 See! His Hands and Feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence Blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be; Yea the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the Tree. 4 Through His Heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and Water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery, Water from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesu, may those precious Fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our Cup and Healing, And at length our full Reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee its redeeming Lord.

O where shall rest be found

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 650 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. 4 There is a death, whose pang Ontlasts the fleeting breath; O what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be driven from Thy face, For evermore undone.

Christ the Royal Master Leads against the foe, Forward into battle, See, His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, On to victory. Hell's foundations quiver At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain; Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 5 Onward, then, ye people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph-song; Glory, laud, and honour, Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and Angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism
