Hymn.
YE champions! who maintain
God’s everlasting law,
Call on his name again,
And tow'rds his presence draw;
And soon your steady march your foes shall overawe.
Why should you faint or fear?
He preserve ye still;
Life, love—all—all that's dear
Yield to his holy will,
And he shall steel your hearts, and strengthen you 'gainst ill.
From Christ, a hundred fold
Of bliss ye shall receive;
For time—that soon is told—
Eternity he'll give;
And he that dies for truth immortally shall live.
