Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You

Author: W. E. Arends, 1677-1721 ; J. M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #518 (1996) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the Foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God's Word, a weapon glorious; Against each foe you'll be victorious. Our God will set you o'er them all. Is Satan strong and fell? Here is Immanuel. Sing hosanna! The strong ones yield, With Christ our Shield, And we as conqu'ror's hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasures, Aye, boldly fight for heav'nly treasures, And steadfast be in Jesus' might. He will help, whate'er betide you, And naught will harm with Christ beside you; By faith you'll conquer in the fight. Then shame, thou weary soul! Look forward to the goal: There joy waits thee. The race, then, run; The combat done, Thy crown of glory will be won. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short, is this our earthly way. Then the trump the dead is waking And sinners all with fear are quaking, With joy the saints will greet that Day. Bless God, our triumph's sure, Though long we did endure Scorn and trial. Thou, Son of God, To Thine abode Wilt lead the way Thyself hast trod. 4 Jesus, all Thy children cherish And keep them that they never perish Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. Let new life to us be given That we may look to Thee in heaven Whenever fearful is our mood. Thy spirit on us pour That we may love Thee more-- Hearts o'erflowing; And then will we Be true to Thee In death and life eternally.

Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying

Author: P. Nicolai, 1566-1608 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #544 (1996) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary First Line: "Wake, awake, for night is flying" Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying," The watchmen on the heights are crying, "Awake, Jerusalem, arise!" It is midnight, we are weary, With voices strong they call us clearly: "Where are you now, O virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Allelujah! With bridal care yourselves prepare To feast with Him, your Groom most fair." 2 Zion hears the watchword sounding, With bridal joy her heart is bounding, She wakes, and breaks the spell of sleep. For her Lord comes forth in splendor, All rich in grace, truth's strong Defender! Her Star grows bright and darkness deep. Now come,O precious Crown, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Hail, Hosanna! We enter all, the marriage hall, To eat the Supper at Your call. 3 All the Church in Christ rejoices With human and angelic voices, All twelve gates of that blest city Gleam forth with pearls of heav'nly beauty; We worship there around the throne. No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught Such great glory; Blessed, will we, sweet jubilee, Sing "Gloria" eternally.
