Author: C. Jay Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11942 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Life is one continued battle Refrain First Line: Christian, buckle on thy armor Lyrics: 1 Life is one continued battle,
Never ended, never o’er;
And the Christian’s path to glory
Is a conflict evermore.
Refrain:
Christian, buckle on thy armor,
Let the weak points strengthened be;
Fight thy fight—all Heav’n shall greet thee
In the hour of victory.
2 Satan ever watches round him,
Seeks to find the weakest part,
And in moments most unheeded,
Quickly throws his fiery dart. [Refrain]
3 If perchance thy heart grows weary
With the struggle and the fight,
And the day seems dark and dreary,
Little sunshine, little light: [Refrain]
4 Be that light but faint and feeble,
It shall guide thee evermore,
And at every battle leave thee
Stronger than thou wast before. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BONHAM
