<p>O God of truth, Whose living Word<br>
Upholds whate&#8217;er hath breath,<br>
Look down on Thy creation, Lord,<br>
Enslaved by sin and death.</p>
<p>Set up Thy standard, Lord, that we,<br>
Who claim a heavenly birth,<br>
May march with Thee to smite the lies<br>
That vex Thy groaning earth.</p>
<p>Ah! would we join that blest array,<br>
And follow in the might<br>
Of Him, the Faithful and the True,<br>
In raiment clean and white!</p>
<p>We fight for truth, we fight for God,<br>
Poor slaves of lies and sin!<br>
He who would fight for Thee on earth<br>
Must first be true within.</p>
<p>Then, God of truth for Whom we long,<br>
Thou Who wilt hear our prayer,<br>
Do Thine own battle in our hearts,<br>
And slay the falsehood there.</p>
<p>Still smite; still burn; till naught is left<br>
But God&#8217;s own truth and love;<br>
Then, Lord, as morning dew come down,<br>
Rest on us from above.</p>
<p>Yes, come: then, tried as in the fire,<br>
From every lie set free,<br>
Thy perfect truth shall dwell in us,<br>
And we shall live in Thee.</p>
