Lyics

Rejoice, believers in the Lord,

Who makes your cause his own;

The hope that's built upon his word

Can ne'er be overthrown.



Though many foes beset your road,

And feeble is your arm,

Your life is hid in Christ your God,

Beyond the reach of harm.



Weak as you are, you shall not faint,

Or faiting shall not die;

Jesus, the strength of ev'ry saint,

Will aid you from on high.



As surely as he overcame,

And triumph'd once for you;

So surely you that love his name

Shall triumph in him too.
