Gird on the Sword and Armor

Composer: John Tenney

Gird on the sword and ar­mor

Go raise the ban­ner high

The Cap­tain of sal­va­tion

To thee is ev­er nigh.

Then wave the glo­ri­ous ban­ner

Press for­ward in His name;

And soon thy guide and cap­tain

Will vic­to­ry pro­claim.

Gird on the sword and ar­mor

Let faith be thy strong shield;

His pro­mise shall sus­tain thee

On ev­ery bat­tle­field.

Gird on the sword and ar­mor

Press on the foe to fight;

No ene­my can harm thee

For God sus­tains the right.
