A wor­thy sol­dier I would be
Of Christ, who gave Him­self for me,
Obeying His com­mand;
And with the Gos­pel shield and sword,
For truth and right, with Christ my Lord,
God help­ing me, I’ll stand.

Refrain

God help­ing me, I’ll stand,
With His un­yield­ing band;
All times and ev­ery­where for Christ,
God helping me, I’ll stand.

When ov­er me shall grand­ly wave
The ban­ner of the mar­tyred brave,
God’s faith­ful, stead­fast band,
Beneath which none e’er fought in vain,
All foes and dan­gers I’ll dis­dain;
God help­ing me, I’ll stand.

Refrain

Though I be wea­ry in the fight,
And Satan’s le­gions, in their spite,
Attack on ev­ery hand,
I’ll stand by Christ, my faith­ful friend,
And stea­di­ly un­to the end,
God help­ing me, I’ll stand.

Refrain
