LyicsO Christians, keep your armor bright:
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
In union strong together fight!
Hosanna to our King!
Come, laud and magnify his name,
Nor let his praises cease;
His ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all his paths are peace.
Oh, it will be glorious,
With crowns and palms victorious,
And Jesus reigning o'er us,
When our sad warfare's o'er,
When our sad warfare's o'er,
When our sad warfare's o'er,
And Jesus reigning o'er us,
When our sad warfare's o'er.
We will not act the coward's part,
But onward all proceed,
Our Captain shall his grace impart
In ev'ry time of need.
Great peace have they who love his cause
And on his word rely;
From such as keep his holy laws
The enemy will fly.
The world and sin may grieve us sore,
And rouse our weakest fears;
Our march is but a few days more
Through this dark vale of tears.
Death may assail, and Satan too,
With his opposing powers;
But let us prove our valor true,
The victory is ours.
