1. My soul, be on thy guard;
   Ten thousand foes arise;
   The hosts of sin are pressing hard
   To draw thee from the skies.

2. O watch, and fight, and pray;
   The battle ne'er give o'er;
   Renew it boldly every day,
   And help divine implore.

3. Ne'er think the victory won,
   Nor once at ease sit down;
   The arduous work will not be done,
   Till thou hast got the crown.

4. Fight on, my soul, till death
   Shall bring thee to thy God;
   He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
   Up to his rest above.
