The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1156

1156. Dare to Be Brave

1. Dare to be brave, dare to be true;
Strive for the right, for the Lord is with you;
Fight with sin bravely, fight and be strong;
Christ is your Captain; fear only what’s wrong.

Refrain
Fight then, good soldiers, fight and be brave;
Christ is your Captain, mighty to save.

2. Dare to be brave, dare to be true;
God is your Father: He watches o’er you;
He knows your trials; when your heart quails,
Call Him to rescue, His grace never fails. [Refrain]

3. Dare to be brave, dare to be true;
God grant you courage to carry you through;
Try to help others, ever be kind;
Let the oppressed a strong friend in you find. [Refrain]
