Battle Hymn



Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe From every ill design;
And to his heav'nly kingdom keep This feeble soul of mine.
God is my everlasting aid, And hell shall rage in vain;
To him be highest glory paid And endless praise--Amen.

With heav'nly weapons we shall fight the battles of the Lord;
Finish our course, and keep the faith, and await our sure reward.
His sword and shield are ours to bear, he dresses us to win
The victory requires we fight to good fight to the end

The weapons of our warfare are not weapons the world wields
The weapons of our warfare  make the enemy to yield
Our every thought is captive and lofty arguments abolished
They have power divine  the devil’s strongholds to demolish.

The Lord Himself has trod the press, And crushed His foes alone;
His wrath has struck the rebels dead, His fury stamped them down.
And so the battle is the Lord’s, and this is by His decree.
Not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit is the victory.

Spoken:For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

With heav'nly weapons we shall fight the battles of the Lord;
Finish our course, and keep the faith, And await our sure reward.
His sword and shield are ours to bear, he dresses us to win
The victory requires we fight to good fight to the end.
