Thou Who Thyself Didst Sanctify

Thou who Thy­self didst sanc­ti­fy

And set Thy­self apart

Thy serv­ant’s pur­pose ra­ti­fy

The pur­pose of his heart.

In rev­er­ence he him­self would yield

To be Thy sol­dier true

And in high plac­es of the field

Thy glo­ri­ous work to do.

Captain di­vine

his name en­roll;

In tok­en let him feel

The fire from Heav’n with­in his soul

The ev­er burn­ing zeal!

Give him his ar­mor

all of light;

And with un­fal­ter­ing breath

Lord

make him Thy great bat­tle fight

And faith­ful be

to death!

He that o’er­com­eth

Lord

with Thee

The morn­ing star shall own

The robe and palm of vic­to­ry

And the im­mor­tal crown.
