When Thy Soldiers Take Their Swords (EN 5176)

EN 5176 When Thy Soldiers Take Their Swords

Eph.6.17

Versi Version 1

1

When Thy soldiers take their swords,

When they speak the solemn words,

When they kneel before Thee here,

Feeling Thee, their Father, near;

These Thy children, Lord, defend;

To their help Thy Spirit send.

2

When the world’s sharp strife is nigh,

When they hear the battle cry,

When they rush into the fight,

Knowing not temptation’s might;

These Thy children, Lord, defend;

To their zeal Thy wisdom lend.

3

When their hearts are lifted high

With success or victory,

When they feel the conqueror’s pride;

Lest they grow self satisfied,

These Thy children, Lord, defend;

Teach their souls to Thee to bend.

4

When the vows that they have made,

When the prayers that they have prayed,

Shall be fading from their hearts;

When their first warm faith departs;

These Thy children, Lord, defend;

Keep them faithful to the end.

5

Through life’s conflicts guard us all,

Or if wounded some should fall

Ere the victory be won,

For the sake of Christ, Thy Son,

These Thy children, Lord, defend;

And in death Thy comfort bend.
