My soul! weigh not thy life
Against thy heavenly crown,
Nor suffer Satan’s deadliest strife
To beat thy courage down.
With prayer and crying strong,
Hold on the fearless fight;
And let the breaking day prolong
The wrestling of the night.
The battle soon will yield,
If thou thy part fulfill;
For, strong as is the hostile shield,
Thy sword ls stronger still.
Thine armour is divine—
Thy feet with victory shod;
And on thy head shall quickly shine
The diadem of God!
