Author: Leonard Swain Hymnal: Laudes Domini #331 (1890) First Line: My soul, weigh not thy life Lyrics: 1 My soul, weigh not thy life
Against thy heavenly crown;
Not suffer Satan's deadliest strife
To beat thy courage down.
2 With prayer and crying strong,
Hold on the fearful fight,
And let the breaking day prolong
The wrestling of the night.
3 The battle soon will yield,
If thou thy part fulfill;
For strong as is the hostile shield,
Thy sword is stronger still.
4 Thine armor is divine,
Thy feet with victory shod;
And on thy head shall quickly shine
The diadem of God. Topics: Christian Experience; Christians Encouragements; Courage; Encouragements; Hope Under Despondency; Soldier, Christian; Christians Encouragements; Courage; Encouragements; Hope Under Despondency; Soldier, Christian Languages: English
