Courage! Fainting Soul

My soul, weigh not thy life Against thy heav' nly crown Nor suffer Satan' s deadliest strife To beat thy courage down.

With prayer and crying strong, Hold on the fearful fight, And let the breaking day prolong The wrestling of the night.

The battle soon will yield If thou thy part fulfil; For strong as is the hostile shield, Thy sword is stronger still.

Thine armor is divine, Thy feet with promise shod; And on thy head, ere long, shall shine The diadem of God.
