II TIMOTHY 2:1-8

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

And the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
 

LEAD ON, 0 KING ETERNAL

Lead on, 0 King Eternal, The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home.
Thro' days or preparation Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, 0 King Eternal, We lift our battle song.

Lead on, 0 King Eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease.
And holiness shall whisper The sweet A-men of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums;
With deeds of love and mercy, Thy heav'n-ly kingdom comes.

Lead on, 0 King Eternal, We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning wher-e'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light:
The crown a-waits the conquest; Lead on, 0 God of might.
