LyicsI've listed in the holy war,
Content to suffer soldier's fare;
The banner over me is love,
I draw my rations from above.
I've fought thro' many a battle sore,
And must I fight thro' many more;
I'll take my breastplate, sword & shield,
And boldly march into the field.
The world, the flesh, and Satan too,
Unite and try what they can do;
On thee, O Lord, I humbly call,
Uphold me, Lord, or I shall fall.
I've listed, and I mean to fight
Till all my foes are put to flight,
And when the victory I have won,
I'll give the praise to God alone.
