Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,938 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:17 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 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
3 Sure I must fight--if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil--endure the pain
Supported by thy word.
4 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
5 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Remission of Sins

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy pow'rful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fiery, cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong deliv'rer, strong deliv'rer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee. Topics: Close of Service Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Medlicott Scriven, 1819-86 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,689 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear,
what a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer:
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Jesus is our only refuge:
take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms he'll take and shield you,
you will find a solace there. Topics: Assurance; Consolation; Devotion; Funerals; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Prayer; Temptation Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
What a friend we have in Jesus
There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,399 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14-15 Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
where saints immortal reign;
infinite day excludes the night,
and pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
and never-withering flowers;
death, like a narrow sea, divides
that heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
stand dressed in living green;
so to the Jews old Canaan stood,
while Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
to cross the narrow sea,
and linger shivering on the brink,
and fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
those gloomy doubts that rise,
and see the Canaan that we love
with unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
and view the landscape o'er,
not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
should fright us from the shore!

There is a land of pure delight
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,094 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 Fear not, said he,--for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;--
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:--
4 The heavenly babe you there shall find,
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing-bands,
And in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:--
6 All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
Topics: Christ Incarnation; The Angelic Announcement

"to be exalted thus!"
"Worthy the Lamb!" our lips reply,
"for he was slain for us."
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
honour and power divine;
and blessings, more than we can give,
be, Lord, forever thine!
4 The whole creation joins in one,
to bless the sacred name
of God that sits upon the throne,
and to adore the Lamb!

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-12 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: HORSLEY
