The Shield of Faith

Verse 1

Take the shield of faith, my brother, Hold it boldly in the light; And its awful burnished glory Will put every foe to flight.

Chorus

In the mighty name of Jesus, Ever lift up the shield of faith; Wield the sword of truth, my brother, Heaven will crown thy fight of faith.

Verse 2

Faith is mighty and will conquer, Bind it firmly on thy heart; On the hottest field of batle, Thou wilt quench the vilest dart.

Verse 3

And when trouble specters round thee, Come, thy spirit to depress, Lift the shield of faith abounding, And thy soul shall calmly rest.

Verse 4

Then put on the holy armor, And defy the tempting throng, Over all the foes that gather, Shout and sing the victor’s song.
