Take faith's strong shield, the arrows to repel,
The deadly shafts, shot by the prince of hell.
A lively faith in Christ will always cool
The fiery darts thrown from the flaming pool.

Take thou the Scripturc's keen, two-edged sword
Take thou the mighty sabre of the Word
For that's the trenchant blade, which, at a blow,
Can cut and cleave our fierce infernal foe.
Ficer Rhys Prichard 1579–1644
