80. Be Strong! Be Soldiers True!

1 Be strong! Be Strong! Be soldiers true,
Your Captain’s bidding bravely do;
He orders ever what is right;
O trust his wisdom, love and might.

Chorus:
Be strong! Be Strong!
Be strong in Christ the Lord,
And ever, ever act upon his word!
Be brave! Be true!
For strength and help he’ll give
To all who in his love and in his precepts live.

2 Be strong! Be Strong! He doth provide
Full armor—cast it not aside;
With sword and helmet bright arrayed,
The foe shall find you undismayed. [Chorus]

3 Be strong! Be Strong In earnest pray’r,
For strength is only granted there;
O seek your Captain’s will to do;
Be soldiers brave and strong and true. [Chorus]
