Soldier, Be Quick! Haste Thy Armour On,
Fatal If Passive You Be;
Watch With Thy Shield Up And Sword Soon Drawn
Cometh Now Thy Enemy.

This Is The Battle You’ve Sung About,
Here You’ll Advance Or Retreat;
Up! Wield The Sword And Full Victory Shout;
Trusting, The Foe You’ll Defeat.

Is There An Ambush Overwhelming You?
Powerful Foe You Now Face?
Fight, Soldier! Stand, And To God Be True;
Plead For Victorious Grace.

Weary, Dear Soldier? Come To The Throne,
Strength For Each Moment Implore;
God Will Not Leave You To Fight Alone,
Soon Will The Battle Be O’er.

Conquer Now! Here Strike The Winning Blow,
Here Stand Thou Strong, Pass The Test;
Heavenly Pow’r Here Defeats The Foe,
Here By God’s Grace Victory Wrest.
