I pray though will deliver me, Midst flying shot or shell, Let angels ore me vigils keep, And ever with me dwell, If I shold die in conflict fierce, On battlefield alone, May angels with their snowy wings, Bear my soul on home, Dear LORD please hear my humble plea, Thou art the soldier's friend, I give my life, my all to Thee, I'll trust Thee to the end.
