Description: A Scottish traditional tune, first arranged for two parts by Joshua Leavitt in The Christian Lyre in 1830, as Wallace. It was then arranged for three parts by Joseph Funk in A Compilation of Genuine Church Music in 1832, as Christian Warfare. This three-part arrangement by William Walker in 1835 was included in The Sacred Harp, p. 152, from 1844 through 1911. It was also arranged by William Hauser in his Hesperian Harp, 1848. The words by an anonymous author, in Andrew Broaddus' Dover Selection of Spiritual Songs, 1828; this text is similar in its first line to Soldiers of the cross, arise / Lo, your leader from the skies, the text given with this tune by Leavitt in 1830, written by Jared Waterbury.
