"The
Christian
Warfare"
is
an
old
tune,
probably
composed
in
the
last
part
of
the
18th
Century
or
the
first
of
the
19th
Century.
It
is
printed
in
Southern
Harmony
by
Walker,
1835;

None
of
the
books
we
have
give
the
name
of
the
author
of
the
words
or
music.
In
Benjamin
Lloyd's
Hymn
Book
of
1858
we
find
the
hymn
title,
"The
Christian
Warfare."
It
has
six
verses,
No
doubt
it
appears
in
the
earlier
editions
of
this
Hymn
Book.
