Pierson Hymnal: Revival Hymns #100 (1905) First Line: Gird thy sword and make thine armor strong Lyrics: 1 Gird thy sword and make thine armor strong, Day by day the warfare rages long; Join the cause of right against the wrong,— Thine shall be the victor’s crown! Refrain: Glorious crown the Saviour’s hand will hold, Priceless crown of everlasting gold, Heav’nly crown that never will grow old,— Thine shall be the victor’s crown! 2 Fear thou not, though fiends thy cause deride; Fear thou not, though long the angels hide; God Himself is ever on thy side,— Thine shall be the victor’s crown! [Refrain] 3 Forward still! the vict’ry must be won, Ere life’s shade falls low at set of sun; Rich reward awaits the work well done,— Thine shall be the victor’s crown! [Refrain] 4 Firmly stand!
