Author: George Heath Hymnal: Gloria Deo #437 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: My soul, be on thy guard! Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard!
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne’er give o’er;
Renew it boldly ev’ry day,
And help divine implore.
2 Ne’er think the vict’ry won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
The work of faith will not be done,
Till thou obtain the crown.
Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He’ll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode. Topics: Christian Conflict Languages: English Tune Title: GAUTIER
