                           Fight the Good Fight


1.   Fight the good fight, brethren; be strong in the Lord. Put on the Lord's
     whole armor and fight against the foe. We struggle not with flesh and
     blood, but with the evil realm. So take up all your weapons and stand firm
     to the end.

2.   Fight the good fight, brethren; do all you can to stand. The weapons of our
     warfare are from God's mighty hand. Stand there fore with the belt of truth
     secured around your waist. And righteousness your breastplate fixed firmly
     in its place.

3.   Fight the good fight, brethren; you soldiers of the Word. Gird on your
     sword for battle, the very Word of God. The gospel of His peace will hold
     you steadfast on your way, And with salvation's helmet protect your
     thoughts each day.

4.   Win the war then, brethren; be strengthened in His might. Put on the Lord's
     whole armor; against the foe we fight. Above all take the shield of faith to
     quench the fiery darts, With pray'r and supplication abounding in your
     hearts.
