Hymn Context Compare
He whis­pered, I love thee,
Rise at the cry of bat­tle,
Where the ama­ranth blooms ev­er fair,
To faith must add­ed be,
Lead us thro’ the vale of sha­dows,
Alas for me, whose lot is cast
O bless the name of Je­sus;
To keep the crown in view,
start
Ours a roy­al stan­dard,
Beheld the Star—the Son sub­lime,
The more we strive, the more we fail
And on the throngs of men,
A stream of wa­ter, crys­tal clear, from His throne will ap­pear.
Fears are with­in: set Thou these fears at rest!
Past is all Thy weep­ing!
Hope sheds her bright­est ray;
Blest are the men of peace­ful life,
Name of Je­sus, soft­ly steal­ing,
The world grows slow­ly in the heat

strife

I yield­ed, He gave me
By night and day you must fight your way
Where the ama­ranth blooms ev­er fair,
We were from sin set free.
Lead us, Je­sus, thro’ the sha­dows
With those who hate the paths of peace
And read my ti­tle clear.
Be ev­er strong and true.
Tho’ the bleak winds roar, and the waves beat high;
Winning men from ev­il
And trem­bled not at com­ing strife.
Lord, they’re just not for your need
Sinks down, as if from an­gel tongues,
The tree of life brings forth its fruits, on ev­er grow­ing shoots.
Change march­es on­ward: may all change blest!
The heart at last has slum­bered
The vic­to­ry is won;
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
Thou canst bring us heav’n­ly heal­ing,
O life, thou too must sow and wait;
