Excerpts
- O little flock, fear not the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and pow’r.
And though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o’er God’s saints
Lasts but a little hour. - Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, our Lord.
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
His Gideon shall for you arise,
Uphold you and His Word. - As true as God’s own Word is true,
Not earth nor hell’s satanic crew
Against us shall prevail.
Their might? A joke, a mere facade!
God is with us and we with God―
Our vict’ry cannot fail. - Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer;
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare,
Fight for us once again!
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise,
Forevermore. Amen.
- The will of God is always best
And shall be done forever;
And they who trust in Him are blest,
He will forsake them never.
He helps indeed in time of need,
He chastens with forbearing;
They who depend on God, their friend,
Shall not be left despairing. - God is my comfort and my trust,
My hope and life abiding;
And to His counsel wise and just,
I yield, in Him confiding.
The very hairs, His Word declares,
Upon my head He numbers.
By night and day God is my stay;
He never sleeps nor slumbers. - Lord, this I ask, O hear my plea,
Deny me not this favor:
When Satan sorely troubles me,
Then do not let me waver.
O guard me well, my fear dispel,
Fulfill Your faithful saying:
All who believe by grace receive
An answer to their praying. - When life’s brief course on earth is run
And I this world am leaving,
Grant me to say: “Your will be done,”
Your faithful Word believing.
My dearest Friend, I now commend
My soul into Your keeping;
From sin and hell, and death as well,
By You the vict’ry reaping.
