Soldiers in the holy strife
1
Soldiers in the holy strife,Battling for eternal life,Where's the cause so just as yoursThat so great reward insures?
2
God, the everlasting God,Cleared the path his soldiers trodThrough the gloomy ages past,—Shall his strength fail us at last?
3
No! ye souls who faltering stand,Grasp the sword with firmer hand;Once again the word of GodClears the path the martyrs trod!
4
Truth! O trusty weapon strong!Theme for an immortal song!Satan's trembling hosts declareThis is mighty, joined with prayer.
