Subject(s): Bible; Fights; Religion; Religious Discrimination; Victory; Theology; Religious Conflict
Fight well, encased in Christ's armor,
The lusts of the flesh, O Soul,
'Til the Spirit within shall conquer,
And reach the Heavenly goal!
Follow the Christ into battle,
With God's Spirit close beside;
Then thou shalt be crowned the Victor
No matter what else betide.
