Equip me for the war

1Equip me for the war, And teach my hands to fight; My simple, upright heart prepare, And guide my words aright.

2Control my every thought, My whole of sin remove; Let all my works in thee be wrought, Let all be wrought in love.

3Oh, arm me with the mind That was in thee! And let me enforce thy call; And vindicate thy gracious will, Which offers life to all.

4With calm and tranquil soul, Let me enforce thy call; And vindicate thy gracious will, Which offers life to all.

5Oh, may I learn the art With meekness to reprove! To hate the sin with all my heart, But still the sinner love.
