The Lutheran Hymnal ‎#449

449. My Soul, Be on Thy Guard

1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise,
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

2 Oh, watch and fight and pray,
The battle ne’er give o’er;
Renew it boldly ev'ry day
And help divine implore.

3 Ne’er think the vict'ry won
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thine arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy crown.

4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He’ll take thee at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode.

Amen.
