The principalities and powers of heaven are watching the warfare which, under apparently discouraging circumstances, God's servants are carrying on. New conquests are being achieved, new honors won, as the Christians, rallying round the banner of their Redeemer, go forth to fight the good fight of faith. All the heavenly angels are at the service of the humble, believing people of God; and as the Lord's army of workers here below sing their songs of praise, the choir above join with them in ascribing praise to God and to His Son.

Himmelens magter og myndigheder er vidne til kampen, som Guds tjenere må føre under tilsyneladende nedslående omstændigheder. Nye erobringer bliver gjort, ny hæder vundet, når de kristne samler sig om Frelserens banner og drager ud for at stride troens gode strid. Alle de himmelske engle er til rådighed for Guds ydmyge troende folk; og når Herrens hær hernede synger sine lovsange, stemmer koret deroppe i sammen med dem for at prise Gud og hans Søn.
