English poem
_The Tune._
by Hezekiah Butterworth (1839–1905)
No other has been so familiarly linked with the words as Lowell Mason's "Laban" (1830). It has dash and animation enough to reenforce the hymn, and give it popular life, even if the hymn had less earnestness and vigor of its own.
Ne'er think the vict'ry won Nor lay thine armor down: Thy arduous work will not be done Till thou hast gained thy crown.
Fight on, my soul till death Shall bring thee to thy God; He'll take thee at thy parting breath To His divine abode.
