10542. Be Ye Strong In The Lord

1 Be ye strong in the Lord
And the power of His might,
Firmly standing for the truth of His word;
He shall lead you safely through
In the thickest of the fight,
You shall conquer in the name of the Lord.

Refrain:
Firmly stand for the right,
On to victory at the King’s command;
For the honor of the Lord,
And the triumph of His word,
In the strength of the Lord firmly stand.

2 Be ye strong in the Lord
And the power of His might,
Never turning from the face of the foe;
He will surely by you stand,
As you battle for the right,
In the power of His might onward go. [Refrain]

3 Be ye strong in the Lord
And the power of His might,
For His promises shall never, never fail;
And thy right hand He will hold,
As you battle for the right—
Trusting Him thou shalt for evermore prevail. [Refrain]
