Ye servants of the Lord

Author: Philip Doddridge, d. 1751 Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #377 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service 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 honor crowned. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NARENZA

Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #378 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service 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 vain 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 see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GRONINGEN

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, d. 1826 Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #383 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Christian Service 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 glorious 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 their death to feel;-- Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army--men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour'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! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
