THE ARMY OF THE LORD.
I.
O fight the battle of the Cross, Christ's chosen ones are sent—Good soldiers and great victors—a noble armament.They use no earthly weapon, they know not spear or sword,Yet right and true and valiant is the army of the Lord.
II.
Fear them, ye mighty ones of earth; fear them, ye demon foes;Slay them and think to conquer, but the ranks will always close:In vain do Earth and Hell unite their power and skill to try,They fight better for their wounds, and they conquer when they die.
