Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLXXXIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: With holy zeal and Christian grace Lyrics: 1 With holy zeal and Christian grace,
I'll take the armor for the race,
Whilst foes and fears beset me round,
In Christ the Lord my strength is found.
2 Forever blessed be the Lord,
His word he gives me for a sword,
And he commands to wield it well,
Against the pow'rs of earth and hell.
3 His righteousness a breastplate yields,
Whilst faith affords a glorious shield,
His free salvation's sov'reign grace,
Shall on my head the helmet place.
4 Thus arm'd and martial'd for the field,
Against temptation doubly steel'd,
The glorious combat I begin,
Declaring war with flesh and sin.
5 My heav'nly Captain's watchful care,
Shall keep me from the tempter's snare;
His spirit guide my wand'ring feet,
Till I his face in glory meet.
