THE EVANGELIC SOLDIER,

Or the Military Evangelist.

“Endure thou hardness.”
1 Tim. ii. 3.

Who lists must fight, who fights for God must arm;
True to his Lord, and in His service warm:
No danger shudder, and no trials shun,
While foes encounter, or suspends the crown.
At all times ready, howe'er quick the word,
To mount the target, or to wield its sword.
Loose from the World, and all its trumpery set,
Its hopes, its smiles, its terrors at our feet;
With strength renew'd, each hour the battle try,
Till won the last, we more than conquerors die!
