611. S. M.

2. O watch, and fight, and pray; The battle ne'er give o'er; Renew it boldly every day,

And help divine implore.

3. Ne'er think the victory won,

Nor lay thine armor down;

Thy arduous work will not be done,

Till thou obtain thy crown.

4. Fight on, my soul, till death

Shall bring thee to thy God;

He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, To His divine abode.

612. S. M.

1. SOLDIERS of Christ, arise,

And gird your armor on,

HEATH.

Strong in the strength which God supplies Through his eternal Son.

2. Strong in the Lord of hosts,

And in His mighty power,

Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

3. Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.

4. But above all lay hold

On faith's victorious shield; Armed with that adamant and gold, Be sure to win the field.

5. Stand, then, in His great might, With all His strength endued,

And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;-

6. That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,

You may o'ercome through Christ alone, And stand complete at last.

7. From strength to strength go on; Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day.

8. Still let the Spirit cry,

In all his soldiers, "Come,"

Till Christ the Lord descends from high, And takes the conquerors home.

613. S. M.

1. SOLDIERS of Christ! arise! The God of armies calls

C. WESLEY.

Unto His mansions in the skies-
His everlasting halls:

2. The angel host appears.

To welcome you to bliss;

Oh! what is earth, its sighs and tears, Its joys, compared to this!

3. Crush'd is the haughty foe,

His might, his glory gone;

But ye, with victory crown'd, shall go
To Christ's eternal throne.

4. There shall the conqueror rest,
And in that bright abode
For ever reign amid the blest,
Triumphant with his God.

LYRA CATH.

5. All honor to His name,
Who marks the shining way;
To Him, who leads the wanderer on
To realms of endless day.

617. S. M.

1. REJOICE in God alway;

DODDRIDGE.

When earth looks heavenly bright, When joy makes glad the livelong day, And peace shuts in the night.

2. Rejoice when care and woe

The fainting soul oppress;

When tears at wakeful midnight flow,
And morn brings heaviness.

3. Rejoice in hope and fear;

Rejoice in life and death;

Rejoice when threatening storms are near, And comfort languisheth.

4. When should not they rejoice,

Whom Christ His brethren calls; Who hear and know His guiding voice, When on their hearts it falls?

5. So, though our path is steep,
And many a tempest lowers,
Shall His own peace our spirits keep,
And Christ's dear love be ours.

618. S. M.

1. JESUS' tremendous name
Puts all our foes to flight;
Jesus, the meek, the gentle Lamb
A Lion is, in fight.

2. By all Hell's host withstood,
We all Hell's host o'erthrow;
And conquering them in Jesus' blood
We still to conquer go.

3. Our Captain leads us on;

He beckons from the skies, And reaches out a starry crown, And bids us take the prize;

4. "Be faithful unto death; Partake My victory;

And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath, And thou shalt reign with Me."

DOXOLOGY. S. M.

Blest Trinity! vouchsafe

C. WESLEY.

That, to Thy guidance true,

What Thou forbiddest, we may shun;

What Thou commandest, do.

2. Though in a foreign land,

We are not far from home, And nearer to our house above We every moment come.

3. His grace will to the end

Stronger and brighter shine,

Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine.

4. When we in darkness walk,

Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon His name.

5. Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at His control;

His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul.

2. Our guilty spirits dread

To meet the wrath of Heaven; But in His righteousness arrayed, We see our sins forgiven.

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 't is 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.
