Leaping into line of battle, Wield the spirit’s flaming sword! Refrain: More is Christ than all against you, Form your columns firm and close; Pressing on o’er trench and rampart, You shall vanquish all your foes! 2 Fierce the conflict, but your mettle Is the sort true manhood boasts; Soon or late, at last shall Satan Flee before your cheering hosts! [Refrain] 3 Who’re afraid and who are fearful, Let them turn now and depart; Gideon kept three hundred only, But each man a valiant heart. [Refrain] 4 Saints on earth and saints in glory— Clouds of witnesses around,— Men and angels—all are praying, Lest you halt and yield your ground.
