LyicsBrethren, while we sojourn here
Fight we must but should not fear;
Foes we have, but we've a Friend,
One that loves us tot he end.
Forward, then with courage go.
Long we shall not dell below;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls, come home."
In the way a thousand snares
Lie to take us unawares:
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded heart:
But from Satan's malice free
Saints shall soon in glory be;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls, come home."
But of all the foes we meet
None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin
Like the foes that dwell within:
Yet let nothing spoil your peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Then the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls, come home."
