3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure)
What I've committed to his hands,
Till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name fol
Before his Father's face,
And in the New Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.
1 JESUS, and shall it ever be,
dndW & A mortal man asham'd of thee? od T Scorn'd be the thought, by rich and poor,T 0 may I scorn it more and more!te (isd?
2 Asham'd of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star:
Asham'd of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight blush to think of noon.
3 Asham'd of Jesus! of that Friend
On whom my heavenly hopes depend!
It must not be be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name.
4 Asham'd of Jesus! yes I may
When I've no crimes to wash away;w
No tear to wipe, no joy to crave, Mos✅T
No fears to quell, nor soul to save, fiɛda bnA
5 Till then (nor is the boasting vain)land x0
Till then, I'll boast a Saviour slain: tam
And, Oh! may this my portion be, Joestand
That Saviour's not asham'd of me
1 STAND up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
And gird the gospel armour on;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where thy great Captain Saviour's gone.
2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course,
But hell and sin are vanquish'd foes;
Thy Jesus nail'd them to the cross,
And sung the triumph when he rose.
3 What though thine inward lusts rebel,
"Tis but a struggling gasp for life;
The weapons of victorious grace
Shall slay thy sins, and end the strife.
4 Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait. J51
5 There shall I wear a starry crown,
And triumph in almighty grace,
While all the armies of the skies
Join in my glorious Leader's praise.
RE we the soldiers of the cross?
The followers of the Lamb?
And shall we fear to own his cause,
Or blush h to speak his name?
2 Now must we fight, if we would reigned; IT
Increase our courage, Lord! We'll bear the toil, endure the painpiva2 adT Supported by thy word.
3 Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they are slain,
They see the triumph from afar,
And shall with Jesus reign.
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
ET me but hear my Saviour say,
Strength shall be equal to thy day;'
Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient grace.
2 I glory in infirmity,
That Christ's own power may rest on me
When I am weak, then am I strong;
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song,
3 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the work alone,
When new temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our weakness is.
My Saviour and my Shield;
He sends his Spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.
2 When sin and hell their force unite,
He makes my soul his care,
Instructs me in the heavenly fight,
And guards me through the war.
3 A friend and helper so divine.
Doth my weak courage raise
use;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And his shall be the praise.,
UST are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode
Who is a God beside the Lord?
Or where's a refuge like our God?
2 "Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield;
And while with sin and hell I fight, T
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
3 He lives, (and blessed be my Rock
The God of my salvation lives;
The dark designs of hell are broke;
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
4 Before the scoffers of the age
I will exalt my Father's name, u 92 bai,
Nor tremble at their mighty rage, fod !!
But meet reproach, and bear the shame.//
SOLDIERS of Christ, arise,,,
And put your armour on lä
Strong is the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son,
Strong in the Lord of Hosts, 3
And in mighty power, in eodem af
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror,
! Stand, then, in his great might, sed do s With all his strength endued;ië But take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God.
Stand, then, against your foes, In close and firm array: Legions of wily fiends oppose Throughout the evil day.
But meet the sons of night, "But mock their vain design,
Arm'd in the arms of heavenly light,
Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.
To keep your armour bright,
Attend with constant care;
Still walking in your Captain's sight,
And watching unto prayer.
To God your every want
In instant prayer display:
Pray always; pray, and never faint ;
Pray, without ceasing, pray.
442 (EXOD. xiv. 13.)
HEN we pass through yonder river,
When we reach the further shore ;
There's an end of war for ever, med sit a
We shall see our foes no more: wo I
All our conflicts then shall cease,xorva2
Follow'd by eternal peace,mox yro [l]
