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. 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 vict'ry won, nor once at ease sit down; the arduous work will not be done till thou hast got the crown. 4 Fight on, my soul, till death shall bring thee to my God; He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, up to His rest above. Source:Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #360
