| Text: | My soul, be on thy guard |
| Author: | George Heath, 1750 - 1822 |
| Tune: | HEATH |
1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise,
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thine arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee at thy parting breath
Up to his blest abode.
