Jesus, my King, proclaims the war;
Awake, the pow'rs of hell are near!
"To arms, to arms!" I hear him cry,
'Tis yours to conquer or to die."
Rous'd by the animating sound,
I caat my eager eyes around;
Make haste to gird my armour on,
And bid each trembling fear be gone.
Hope is my helmet, faith my shield,
The word of God the sword I wield;
With sacred truth my loins are girt,
And holy zeal inspires my heart.
Thus arm'd, I venture on the fight,
Resolv'd to put my foes to flight;
While Jesus kindly deigns to spread
His conquering banner o'er my head.

And holy zeal inspires my heart.
In him I hope, in him I trust;
His bleeding cross is all my boast;
Thro' troops of foes he'll lead me on
To vict'ry and the victor's crown.
