Lyics

Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope that's built upon his word
Shall ne'er be overthrown.


Tho' many foes beset your road
And feeble is your arm,
Your life is hid with Chris in God,
Beyond the reach of harm.


Week as you are, you shall not faint,
Or fainting shall not die;
Jesus the strength of ev'ry saint
Will daily strength supply.


Tho' sometimes unperceiv'd by sense,
To faith he's always near;
A guide, a glory, a defence,
Then what have you to fear?


Cleave to the Saviour's precious name;
Your confidence hold fast;
And surely as he over came,
You'll conquer too at last.
