Author: Heath Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #543 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: My soul, be on thy guard Lyrics:
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 strive, and pray;
The battle ne’er give o’er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
Ne’er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down:
Thy arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy 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.
