I mastered this hymn in the 80s during my primary school days in Jos, Plateau state, Nigeria. I woke up singing and searching for it online. This is a clarion call for me and fellow soldiers of CHRIST to press on. Shalom brethren!
The believers are also soldiers of Christ. Second Timothy 2:3 says, “Take your share in suffering evil as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. ” The apostles considered their ministry a warfare for Christ, just as the priestly service was considered a military service, a warfare, in Numbers 4:23 , 30 , 35 (lit. ). Whenever we minister Christ to others, we find ourselves in a battle. Hence, we should be soldiers fighting for God’s interest.
1. Sharing the Suffering of Evil
---------------
In 2 Timothy 2:3 Paul speaks of suffering evil as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. The first aspect of being a good soldier of Christ is to share in suffering evil. To suffer evil means to suffer persecution. A minister of Christ is one who shares in the suffering of such evil.
The Conclusion of the New Testament: The Believers,
In verse 3 Paul continues, “Suffer evil with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. ” The apostle considered their ministry a warfare for Christ, just as the priestly service was considered a military service, a warfare, in Numbers 4:23 , 30 , 35 (lit. ). Whenever we minister Christ to others, we find ourselves in a battle. Hence, we should not only be teachers committing the deposit to others, but we should also be soldiers fighting for God’s interests.

A very wonderful hymn which I learned in high school JMV - now Adventist youth. Many hymns like this have kept me on the path of keeping close to my Bible. They are sermons! which unfortunately, are not being sung much today. Now I want to teach this song to my early teen and young adult class at church - to prepare their minds to remain faithful to God especially as we see the evils coming upon the world. Amen.
Lord please bless Germany and Europe too with strong prayer warriors, to war for God’s Will, Truth and Kingdom in these last days! Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven! Come quickly LORD, and may we all be ready on that great and terrible day!
Bless all who sing this song with us. Give to us all the strength to overcome and to endure even until the end, our blessed Saviour. To God be all the Glory! In Jesus‘ mighty name, Amen!
We are at perpetual war; we'll fight devil and his cohort, well fight sin and no neutral position. It's either you take the battle to them or they bring the kids battle to you
As I study to learn how to pray like a prayer warrior, and as I then pray in all my frailty, I remember that God's word tells me I am seated in the heavenlies with Christ, who is on His throne, and as a co-regent with Him, who is interceding for the world, I stand as a priest of God and pray against the principalities and powers that darken this world and pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
The words of this hymn and the comments that follow from soldiers of the Cross around the world are true encouragement to me. Bless you, all who follow Jesus without fear. We need each other in this battle for truth.
For example, when he worked on hymns, he struggled to find words that rhymed. It was hard for him to differentiate between the sounds of slightly different syllables. Many of the hymns that he worked on have imperfect rhymes for these sounds. Sometimes, I would point out these errors, and he was genuinely willing to learn. The structure of Chinese poetry is such that long lines cannot rhyme with short lines, and odd and even lines should have an alternating rhyme pattern. For example, if a hymn has alternating lines of eight syllables and six syllables, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme. The only exception is when the lines of the poem are the same length; then the couplets can rhyme. However, Brother Nee did not follow this rule. Instead, he rhymed lines containing eight syllables with lines containing six syllables. For example, the first verse of the Chinese Hymns, #468 says, "If I veer slightly from the way,/ I'll then in comfort stay; / But I remember my Lord, how / He with suff'ings did bow." [Editor's note: This translation is provided to reflect the eight-six meter rhyme scheme.] This hymn has an eight-six meter; therefore, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme.
Although Brother Nee accepted my fellowship and wanted to revise hymns containing improper rhyme patterns, he was unable to do so because he had written them in a way that if he changed a single character, the meaning would suffer some loss. Chinese Hymns, #468 and also English Hymns, #472, which says, "Many crowd the Savior's kingdom, / Few receive His cross," were both favorite hymns among us in the 1950s because they really touch one's heart. We were often brought to tears while singing them. Since we have seen more of God's central lane and His New Testament economy, we do not sing these hymns as much as before. When I worked on the second edition of the Chinese Hymns, I followed all the rules of Chinese poetry.
