This is the battle

1. Soldier, be quick! Haste thy armor on,
   Fatal if passive you be;
   Watch with thy shield up and sword soon drawn—
   Cometh now thy enemy.
   • Refrain:
     This is the battle you’ve sung about,
     Here you’ll advance or retreat;
     Up! Wield the sword and full vict’ry shout;
     Trusting, the foe you’ll defeat.
2. Is there an ambush o’erwhelming you?
   Powerful foe you now face?
   Fight, soldier! Stand, and to God be true;
   Plead for victorious grace.
3. Weary, dear soldier? Come to the throne,
   Strength for each moment implore;
   God will not leave you to fight alone,
   Soon will the battle be o’er.
4. Conquer now! Here strike the winning blow,
   Here stand thou strong, pass the test;
   Heavenly pow’r here defeats the foe,
   Here by God’s grace vict’ry wrest.
