3 Cause me, O God of truth and grace, My real state to know! If I am wrong, O set me right! CHRISTIAN WARFARE. HYMN 206. S. M. [171] SOLDIERS of Christ arise, Strong in the strength which God supplies Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in his mighty power, Who in the strength of Jesus trusts, 2 Stand then in his great might, That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone, 3 Leave no unguarded place, No weakness of the soul: Take every virtue, every grace, And fortify the whole: Indissolubly join'd, To battle all proceed; But arm yourselves with all the mind That was in Christ, your Head. HYMN 207. S. M. [172] POUR out your souls to God, And bow them with your knees And spread your hearts and hands abroad, For ever on your mind; Extend the arms of mighty prayer, 2 From strength to strength go on, In all his soldiers, "Come," Till Christ the Lord descend from high, HYMN 208. C. M. [172] WHEN I can read my title clear 2 Should earth against my soul engage, 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, So I but safely reach my home, 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. HYMN 209. S. M. [173] HARK, how the watchmen cry! All stain'd with hallow'd blood. To all the nations call: 3 Only have faith in God: By flaming vengeance hurl'd, They throng the air, and darken heaven, And rule this lower world. HYMN 210. C. M. [174] AM I a soldier of the cross, 2 Must I be carried to the skies, Whilst others fought to win the prize, 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Is this vile world a friend to grace, 4 Sure, I must fight, if I would reign, 5 Thy saints in all this glorious war, 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine, In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. HYMN 211. S. M. EQUIP me for the war, And teach my hands to fight; My simple, upright heart prepare, And guide my words aright; Control my every thought; My whole of sin remove; Let all my works in thee be wrought, Let all be wrought in love. 2 0 arm me with the mind, Meek Lamb! which was in thee; And let my knowing zeal be joined With perfect charity! With calm and tempered zeal Let me enforce thy call; 3 O may I love like thee! Thou hatest all iniquity, With meekness to reprove; CHRISTIAN ZEAL. HYMN 212. S. M. [175] JESUS, I fain would find 2 In me thy spirit dwell! In me thy bowels move! So shall the fervor of my zeal HYMN 213. L. M. O THOU who all things canst control, 3 For zeal I sigh, for zeal I pant, |
