Soldier, go! Thy vow is spoken:
Counting earthly gain but loss,
Thou henceforth
must bear the token
Of the cross.
Strengthened with
the sevenfold blessing
Of the Spirit here outpoured,
Thou must dare to live confessing
Christ thy Lord.
Trust in Him:
though sore temptation
Oft thy fainting heart assail,
Yet the Prince of thy salvation
Shall prevail.
Faithful in His service ever
Fight, nor fear the battle’s tide:
Hosts of hell can harm thee never
At His side.
He, His mighty arm extending.
Still hath power from sin to save,
Though thy warfare hath no ending
But the grave.
Then, when over death victorious
Thou shalt lay thine armour down,
With the saints in heaven glorious
Take the crown.
