‘Midst foes without and dears within,
Dangers in sight and more unseen,
Believers neither faint nor yield,
Nor drop the sword, not quit the field.
Pluck out, destroy, at God’s command,
Th’ offending eye or vengeful hand;
No quarter give, no mercy show,
‘Tis either sin must die or you.
Your enemies are strong to fight,
But look to yonder world of light;
A few courageous struggles more,
The victory’s won, the conflict o’er.
