Anon.
SOLDIER of Christ! Oh, lose not heart
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.
2
Oh, blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, when He
Is most invisible!
3
And blest is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man’s blindfold eye!
4
Oh, learn to scorn the praise of men!
Oh, learn to lose with God!
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.
5
And right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin!
