“What will ye see in the Shulamite?” Song. 6. 13

1 In every believer two armies are seen,
  The new man of grace, and the old man of sin;
  In Christ he is perfect, and free from all guilt,
  Yet in himself evils are both seen and felt.

2 As one in the Lord, he’s a true son of peace;
  In himself, he is nothing but sin and disgrace;
  His body’s the temple of the Holy Ghost,
  And Christ in him dwelleth as King of one host.

3 When Christ takes possession, and proves himself King,
  Then sin, world, and Satan, their forces will bring;
  Nor will they be wanting of gun-shot from hell;
  The old prince of darkness will furnish them well.

4 Yet such is the power and love of our King,
  In spite of all hell we of victory sing;
  For though sin and devils against us unite,
  ’Tis Christ fights our battles, and puts them to flight.

5 The victory is thine! then let hell do its worst;
  For Christ will still reign, and of Christ thou shalt boast;
  And when the fight’s ended, the crown thou shalt wear,
  And glory immortal with Christ thou shalt share.
