Equip me for the war
1
Equip me for the war,And teach my hands to fight;My simple, upright heart prepare,And guide my words aright.
2
Control my every thought;My whole of sin remove;Let all my works in thee be wrought,Let all be wrought in love.
3
O arm me with the mind,Meek Lamb, that was in thee!And let my knowing zeal be joinedWith perfect charity.
4
With calm and tempered zealLet me enforce thy call;And vindicate thy gracious will,Which offers life to all.
5
O may I learn the art,With meekness to reprove!To hate the sin with all my heart,But still the sinner love.
