2. Though foes try every tactic 4. We look unto our Captain, Note on “our armor’s linen bright”:
To make us shy away, Our Leader and our Way; The saints fight with soft, linen armor
We, fearless, march onward, We know Him, show strength, and (“Senir” meaning “soft armor” in S.S. 4:8; Rev. 19:14).
Much to their great dismay! Take action right away! Hard metal armor is unnecessary,
Forgetting all our failures, We execute His triumph, for Christ has already won the victory!
We’re pressing on to seize Subdue each foe we meet; Hallelujah!
The good land, God’s interest, Dominion He gives us
With hearts of full belief! To crush them ’neath our feet!

The giants may seem mighty, We’re in this all together;

But God is on our side; We’re fighting corporately!
He’s fighting for us daily! The warrior-bride we’re readying!
“The Nephilim are bread for us!” The enemy cannot withstand
We boldly cry! God’s formed army!

3. Let us go up at once and 5. ’Tis not to win we’re fighting;

Possess the land in sight, We fight from victory;
For we are well able Our Captain is Conqu’ror
To overcome with might! And us to glory leads!
We care not for the outward; Our banners we’re unfurling;
We hear not Satan’s lies. Our armor’s linen bright;
“Rejoice not against us, Our Love finds us lovely;
For when we fall, we rise!” Our foes are terrified!

Though we may feel defeated, From glory unto glory,

“How can grasshoppers win?” E’er higher we ascend;
That’s only in our own sight; We’re pressing onward, upward,
So we no more look to ourselves Jerusalem to Zion go,
But unto Him! This age to end!
