605   My Soul Be on Thy Guard




[1]
My soul be on thy guard!
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

[2]
O watch and fight and pray!
The battle ne er give o er;
Renew it boldly every day
And help divine implore.

[3]
Ne er think the victory won
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thy arduous task will not be done
Till thou obtain the crown.
