Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign: increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, shall conquer, though they die; they view the triumph from afar, and seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry through the skies, the glory shall be thine.
