English poem
The GOD of Peace bruising Satan. Rom. xvi. 20
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Ye Armies of the living GOD, In his all-conqu'ring Name, Lift up your Banners, and aloud Your Leader's Grace proclaim.
What tho' the Prince of Hell invade With Show'rs of fiery Darts, And join, to the fierce Lion's Roar, The Serpent's wily Arts?
Jesus, who leads his Hosts to War, Shall tread the Monster down, And ev'ry faithful Soldier share The Triumph and the Crown.
So Israel on the haughty Necks Of Canaan's Tyrants trod, And sung their Joshua's conqu'ring Sword, And sung their faithful GOD .
