THE GOODLY COMPANY by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: THOU WITH US, AND WE WITH THEE
Last Line: AND WITH HIM IS CLOSE ALLIED.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Thou with us, and we with Thee,
Maketh goodly company,
Proof against all villainy,
Strong to vanquish tyranny;
Thou with us, and we with Thee,
Maketh goodly company.

Who would fight a goodly fight
Must have cause both just and right,
Then, with God's good oversight,
He in mail of proof is dight;
Who would fight a goodly fight
Must have cause both just and right.

Who would God upon his side,
And with Him would be allied,
By God's will his course must guide;
Fully then he's fortified,
Who hath God upon his side,
And with Him is close allied.
