ARMORED

By M. Elizabeth Burns-Howell

M. Elizabeth Burns-Howell.
Youth on yonder threshold standing, Hand upon Life’s open door, Footstep eager on the landing, Heart a-leap with hope before; O the tremor! And the glamour! Day doth dawn! Behold the morning! Not a cloud in all the sky; Dost thou know there's need of warning? Danger lurketh by and by.
Watch thy way, O son of promise; Guard thy going, day and night; Foes would foil each holy purpose, Snares are set thy bloom to blight; O be watchful! And be prayerful, Keep thyself in Christ thy Saviour; If thou wouldst the conflict win, Battle bravely; falter never; Know no compromise with sin.
Gird thyself with Truth’s own armor,— Shield of faith and Gospel sword; Smite with might, and thou shalt conquer, Strong in Spirit through the Word. Men may cavil, Fear not evil; Take the helmet of salvation, Let thy feet be sandal shod; So shalt thou o’ercome temptation, Walk in paths of peace with God.
