3 'Tis righteousness that will secure Our Souls from every wrong, And 'twill also, O Lord, endure As well as it is strong.
3 'Tis righteousness that will secure Our Souls from ev'ry wrong, And 'twill also, O Lord, endure As well as it is strong.
4 There's no engaging in these Wars Without a Righteousness; This Breast-plate scatters all our fears, Who do thy Name profess.
5 A Breast-plate 'tis that doth preserve The Body's chiefest part; 'Tis Righteousness which, Lord, doth save Our precious Souls and Heart.
The Second Part. 1 A Breast-plate doth the Soldier cheer, It makes him very bold; So Righteousness doth make us all Our Sword with courage hold, 2 And not to fear i'th' day of evil What any man can do; Nay we hereby withstand the Devil, Who doth great malice show. 3 O then, ye Saints, see you maintain A good and holy life, And soon thereby you will obtain An end of all that strife 4 With which you meet from Foes without, And also from within; O know it is God's great design To purge you from your sin; 5 And that you holy should all live, And hence 'tis you have Grace; The Seed of Holiness is sown, And it will grow apace,
