THE GOODLY COMPANY, by                    
First Line: Thou with us, and we with thee
Last Line: And with him is close allied.
Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


Thou with us, and we with Thee,
Maketh goodly company,
Proof against all villainy,
Strong to vanquish tyranny;
Thou with us, and we with Thee,
Maketh goodly company.

Who would fight a goodly fight
Must have cause both just and right,
Then, with God's good oversight,
He in mail of proof is dight;
Who would fight a goodly fight
Must have cause both just and right.

Who would God upon his side,
And with Him would be allied,
By God's will his course must guide;
Fully then he's fortified,
Who hath God upon his side,
And with Him is close allied.
