My love is the flaming Sword (Thomson, set by F. Allitsen) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


My love is the flaming Sword 
  To fight through the world;
Thy love is the Shield to ward
And the Armour of the Lord,
  And the Banner of Heaven unfurled.
