My soul, be on they guard!

by George Heath

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 605.

Verse 1

My soul, be on they guard! Ten thousand foes arise; The hosts of sin are pressing hard To draw thee from the skies.

Verse 2

O watch, and fight, and pray! The battle ne’er give o’er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore.

Verse 3

Ne’er think the victory won, Nor lay thine armor down; Thy arduous task will not be done Till thou obtain the crown.
