But, Above All, Lay Hold
On Faith’s Victorious Shield;
Armed With That Adamant And Gold,
Be Sure To Win The Field:
If Faith Surround Your Heart,
Satan Shall Be Subdued,
Repelled His Every Fiery Dart,
And Quenched With Jesu’s Blood.
Jesus Hath Died For You!
What Can His Love Withstand?
Believe, Hold Fast Your Shield, And Who
Shall Pluck You From His Hand?
Believe That Jesus Reigns,
All Power To Him Is Given;
Believe, Till Freed From Sin’s Remains,
Believe Yourselves To Heaven!
To Keep Your Armour Bright,
Attend With Constant Care,
Still Walking In Your Captain’s Sight,
And Watching Unto Prayer.
Ready For All Alarms,
Steadfastly Set Your Face,
And Always Exercise Your Arms,
And Use Your Every Grace.
Pray, Without Ceasing Pray,
Your Captain Gives The Word;
His Summons Cheerfully Obey,
And Call Upon The Lord;
To God Your Every Want
In Instant Prayer Display;
Pray Always; Pray, And Never Faint;
Pray, Without Ceasing Pray!
