My Orders are to fight:
Then if I bleed, or fail
Or strongly win what matters it?
God only doth prevail.
The servant craveth naught
Except to serve with might.
I was not told to win or lose-
My orders are to fight.
Ethelwyn Wetherald – a Welsh Canadian poet
Proverbs 21:31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
