4 And as a Helmet fearless makes A Souldier in the Field; So hope of glory makes us all Resolve we ne're will yield
5 To Satan, nor to other Foes, When we with them do meet; Nor need we fear their cruel blows, If we have this Helmet,
6 Since we completely armed are, Even from head to foot, Our head-piece makes us to appear Both fierce and very stout.
6 Since we compleatly armed are, Even from head to foot, Our head-piece makes us to appear Both fierce and very stout.
7 This Helmet will us never fail If that we have it on; The Soul it is, it doth preserve Till all our dangers gone.
