John Greenleaf Whittier, "The Moral Warfare"; Anti-Slavery Poems: Songs of Labor and Reform (1888)
“
So let it be in God's own might We gird us for the coming fight, And, strong in Him whose cause is ours In conflict with unholy powers, We grasp the weapons he has given,— The Light, and Truth, and Love of Heaven.
— John Green on Strength
