"Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands
to war and my fingers to fight; My goodness and my fortress,
my high tower, my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust."
(Psalm 144:1-2)

Forever blessed be the LORD,
My Savior and my Shield;
He sends His Spirit with His Word,
To arm me for the field.
When sin and hell their forces unite,
He makes my soul His care,
Instructs me to the heav'nly fight,
And guards me through the war.
A Friend and Helper so divine
Does my weak courage raise;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And His shall be the praise.
