10446. If God Be For Us

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O let His mercy cheer,
He sunders the bands that enthrall;
Redeemed by His blood, why should we ever fear,
Since Jesus is our "all in all"?

Refrain:
If God be for us, if God be for us,
If God be for us, who can be against us,
Who, who, who,
Who can be against us, against us?

2 Be strong in the Lord, rejoicing in His might,
Be loyal and true, day by day;
When evils assail, be valiant for the right,
And He will be our strength, our stay. [Refrain]

3 Confide in His Word, His promises so sure,
In Christ, they are "yea, and amen";
Tho’ earth pass away, they ever shall endure,
’Tis written o’er and o’er again. [Refrain]

4 Abide in the Lord, secure in His control,
’Tis life everlasting begun;
To pluck from His hand the weakest, trembling soul,
It never, never can be done. [Refrain]
