Common Hymnal's 'Uploaded' is a modern arrangement of the classic hymn 'My Soul, Be on Thy Guard.' The song urges believers to remain vigilant against sin and spiritual enemies, emphasizing the need for persistent prayer, watchfulness, and reliance on God's help. It acknowledges the ongoing battle of faith, warning against complacency, and encourages perseverance until the end. The lyrics point to the ultimate reward of heaven, where God grants rest and victory after a life of faithful struggle.
My soul, be on thy guard;
ten thousand foes arise;
the hosts of sin are pressing hard
to draw thee from the skies.
O watch, and fight, and pray;
the battle ne'er give o'er;
renew it boldly every day,
and help divine implore.
Ne'er think the vict'ry won,
nor once at ease sit down;
the arduous work will not be done
till thou hast got the crown.
Fight on, my soul, till death
shall bring thee to my God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
up to His rest above.
