Author: George Heath Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,370 hymnals Lyrics: 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 O watch, and fight, and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor once at ease sit down;
Thine arduous work will not be done,
Till thou receive 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. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness and Fidelity; First Sunday after Trinity; Ninth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
My soul, be on thy guard
