Carry On, My Soul, Carry On!
Hymn Prelude No. 130 Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus (Followed by the singing of first stanza only. Standing)
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed. Refrain.
Leader: Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Assembly: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Leader: Wait on the Lord: be of gopd courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.
Assembly: They that wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
Hymn: (Second stanza)
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day:
Ye that are men, now serve him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose. Refrain.
Leader: Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Assembly: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Leader: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Assembly: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.
Hymn 185 How Firm a Foundation ( Theodore Roosevelt's Favorite Hymn )
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord!
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say, than to you he hath said,
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
