O Happy Day.

2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, 3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,

The joys I feel, the bliss I share,

Thy wings shall my petition bear

Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God, my Savior, shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

To Him, whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless:
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His word, and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

1 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.

G. J. Webb.

Stand Up for Jesus.

2 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;
Your courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;

Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armor,

Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,

The next the victor's song:
To him that overcometh,

A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.

-George Duffield

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

4 The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
