Vain his threats to ov­er­come me,
Let all thy saints ad­ore Thee,
With right­eous­ness our breast­plate,
Keep on work­ing, keep on pray­ing,
Of those who chal­lenge wrong,
Where Thou Thy­self wilt come.
Are you stand­ing firm against all forms of wrong?
Bound to Him eter­nal­ly by love’s strong cord,

the Spir­it’s sword

Then with ease I drive him from me.
Subdue Thy foes be­fore Thee.
Still con­quer­ing and to con­quer,
Keep on work­ing, keep on pray­ing;
The weak against the strong.
The sword of Thine own death­less Word;
Are you saved for­ev­er through your ris­en Lord?
Standing on the pro­mis­es of God.
