Crowning Glory No. 1 ‎#90

90. Be Strong in Jehovah

1 Be strong in Jehovah, though hard be the fight,
We'll conquer, we know, in the power of His might;
Put on the whole armour of God, ev'ry one,
Let Christ be your captain till vict'ry is won.
Let Christ be your captain till vict'ry is won.

2 We'll sing while we march through the midst of our foes,
Who stand all determined our way to oppose;
We'll conquer their legion, our battle song raise;
The Lord is our captain; His name ever praise.
The Lord is our captain; His name ever praise.

3 Thus armed we shall stand and shall meet Satan's wiles;
We know his devices, the world he beguiles,
'Tis not against flesh and the blood that we fight,
But powers that would force us from heavenly light.
But powers that would force us from heavenly light.

4 The trumpet is sounding, the trumpet of war,
Not peace while we wait for our bright morning star;
We watch where the foe would alarm or surprise;
The trumpet is sounding; arise, then arise.
The trumpet is sounding; arise, then arise.
