My Soul, Be on Thy Guard

Verse 1

My soul, be on thy guard; ten thousand foes arise; the hosts of sin are pressing hard to draw thee from the skies.

Verse 2

O watch, and fight, and pray; the battle ne'er give o'er; renew it boldly every day, and help divine implore.

Verse 3

Ne'er think the vict'ry won, nor once at ease sit down; the arduous work will not be done till thou hast got the crown.

Verse 4

Fight on, my soul, till death shall bring thee to my God; He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, up to His rest above.
