Firmly Stand

Leonard Swain • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32

Verse 1

My soul, weigh not thy life Against thy heavenly crown; Not suffer Satan's deadliest strife To beat thy courage down.

Verse 2

With prayer and crying strong, Hold on the fearful fight, And let the breaking day prolong The wrestling of the night.

Verse 3

The battle soon will yield, If thou thy part fulfill; For strong as is the hostile shield, Thy sword is stronger still.

Verse 4

Thine armor is divine, Thy feet with victory shod; And on thy head shall quickly shine The diadem of God.
