Am I a soldier of the cross

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,971 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Am I a soldier of the cross?A follower of the Lamb,And shall I fear to own his cause,Or blush to speak his name?Must I be carried to the skiesOn flowery beds of ease,While others fought to win the prize,And sailed through bloody seas?2. Are there no foes for me to fight?Must I not stem the flood?Is this dark world a friend to grace,To help me on to God?Sure, I must fight if I would reignIncrease my courage, Lord.I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,Supported by thy word.3. Thy saints, in all this glorious warShall conquer, though they die;They see the triumph from afarBy faith's discerning eye.When that illustrious day shall riseAnd all thine armies shineIn robes of victory through the skies,The glory shall be thine.

O how I have long'd for the coming of God

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O how I have longed for the coming of GodAnd sought him by praying and searching his word,To watching and fasting my soul was oppressed,Nor would I give over till Jesus had blessed.The tokens of mercy at length did appear,According to promise he answered my prayer,And glory is opened in floods on my soul,Salvation from Zion's beginning to roll.3. The good news of mercy is spreading abroad,And sinners come praying and weeping to God,Their mourning and crying is heard very loud,And many find favor in Jesus’s blood.Here’s more, my dear Jesus, that fall at thy feet,Oppressed by a burden enormously great,O raise them, my Jesus, to tell of thy love,And shout Hallelujah like angels above.
