THE CHRISTIAN ARMOR.

By M. A. B.

Truth—’tis a golden girdle, Holding the robes in place, That we be quick to duty, And fleet to win the race.
Holiness is the breastplate Of righteousness; no dart From Satan, sin, or error, Can pierce the holy heart.
Peace—oh! what beauteous sandals For mortal feet to wear, To tread earth’s rugged pathway, The gospel news to bear.
Faith—over all the others, Are we to take this shield, To quench all Satan’s fire-shafts, And firmly hold the field.
Hope—’tis the crown immortal, Of our defensive dress; The helmet of salvation, With which we upward press.
God’s word—the sword offensive, Which victory will win, ’Gainst all the powers of evil, And all the snares of sin.
Christians, let us be furnished, With armor and with sword, And with much watching, praying, Fight bravely for the Lord.
—M. A. B.
