The Fight of Faith
Awake! Awake! ye saints of light! Put on the holy armor,
Defend the city of the Lord from all who seek to harm her.
The foe is on the field,
He comes with sword and shield;
Go forth, the hosts of evil meet, go fight the blessed fight of faith!
Go forth, go forth a mighty host against the powers of darkness;
The sword of truth, the shield of faith, shall conquer all against us.
We'll overcome the foe,
For God his power will show;
Remember Gideon's little band; go fight the blessed fight of faith!
Hold fast, hold fast, ye valiant ones, the day will soon be breaking;
Lift now your royal standard high, the foe with fear is quaking.
Soon to our gladdened sight,
Arrayed in robes of white,
The heavenly legions shall descend, and end the glorious fight of faith!
