606. Soldiers in the holy strife

1 Soldiers in the holy strife,
Battling for eternal life,
Where's the cause so just as yours
That so great reward insures?

2 God, the everlasting God,
Cleared the path his soldiers trod
Through the gloomy ages past,
Shall his strength fail us at last?

3 No! ye souls who faltering stand,
Grasp the sword with firmer hand;
Once again the word of God
Clears the path the martyrs trod!

4 Truth! O trusty weapon strong!
Theme for an immortal song!
Satan's trembling hosts declare
This is mighty, joined with prayer.
