Onward! Christian soldiers
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 1,796 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship Lyrics: 1 Onward! Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
Christ, the royal Master
leads against the foe;
forward into battle,
see! his banners go:
[Refrain:]
Onward! Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
2 At the sign of triumph
Satan's legions flee;
on then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
lift your hearts and voices,
loud your anthems raise: [Refrain]
3 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: [Refrain]
4 Onward, then, you 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,
we with angels sing: [Refrain] Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:3-4 Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
Onward! Christian soldiers
Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA
Great God, your love has called us here

all will be well.
Free and changeless is his favour;
all, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
perfect is the grace that sealed us,
strong the hand stretched forth to shield us;
all must be well.
2 Though we pass through tribulation,
all will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
all, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding,
fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
holy, through the Spirit’s guiding;
all must be well.
3 We expect a bright tomorrow;
all will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
'All, all is well.'
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
in our living, in our dying,
all must be well. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:19 Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

Oh, for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,368 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to Christ In Penitence Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly 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 once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an 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 tear 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. Scripture: 1 John 5:21 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 502 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 With that deep hush subduing all
our words and works that drown
the tender whisper of thy call,
as noiseless let thy blessing fall
as fell thy manna down,
as fell thy manna down.
5 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
6 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm!
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-13 Used With Tune: REPTON
Dear Lord and Father of mankind

Let the earth hear his voice!

Let the people rejoice!

to every believer the promise of God;
for every offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. [Refrain]

and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son:
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our joy and our wonder, when Jesus we see. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:20 Used With Tune: TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:2 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

show me the heavenly way.

I may the glorious morning see
and share your joy at last! Scripture: John 14:6 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, Adapter

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE
Jesus, lover of my soul

with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come.
3 Just as I am you will receive,
will welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because your promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.
4 Just as I am -- your love unknown
has broken every barrier down --
now to be yours, and yours alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
5 Just as I am, of that free love
the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
here for a season, then above --
O Lamb of God, I come. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:5-9 Used With Tune: SAFFRON WALDEN
