O Christ, awake! ‘tis the Master’s command;
With
helmet and shield, and sword in thy hand,
To
meet the bold tempter, go, fearlessly go,
Then
stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.
Refrain
2
The
cause of thy Master with vigor defend;
Be
watchful, be zealous, and fight to
the
end;
Wherever
He leads thee, go, valiantly go,
Then
stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.
3
Press
on, never doubting, thy Captain
is
near,
With
grace to supply, and with comfort to cheer;
His
love, like a stream in the dessert
will
flow;
Then
stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.
