Full Text

1 Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord, With shield of faith and Spirit's sword; Forth to the battle may they go, And boldly fight against the foe, With banner of the Cross unfurl'd, And by it overcome the world; And so at last receive from Thee The palm and crown of victory. 2 Come, ever-bless'd Spirit, come, And make Thy servant's hearts Thy home; May each a living temple be, Hallow'd for ever, Lord, to Thee, Enrich that temple's holy shrine With seven-fold gifts of grace divine; With wisdom, light, and knowledge bless, Strength, counsel, fear, and godliness.
