LyicsRejoice, believer, in the Lord,
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope, that's built upon his word,
Can ne'er be overthrown.
Tho' many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm;
Your life is hid with Christ in God,
Behold the reach of harm.
Weak 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 we to fear!
Cleave to the Saviour's precious name,
Your confidence hold fast;
And surely as he overcame,
You'll conquer too, at last.
