"Warfare"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion’s Hymns. (in common meter)

“Warfare”

1. Rise, rise my soul, pursue thy foes,
The victory is won;
Through all thy warfare Jesus shows,
The conflict is his own.

2. He, armour, strength, and food provides,
For all he calls to fight;
His army in his power confides,
And conquers in his might.

3. My soul shall never to war,
At my own charge and cost,
I’ll from my Captain’s fulness draw,
And then I can’t be lost.

4. Let fiends, and foes, and sins assail,
And in-bred traitors move;
In Jesus’ strength I shall prevail,
And more than conqu’ror prove.
