Composer:Philip Paul Bliss

14103. Tenez Ferme!

1 Voyez l’étendard céleste
Qui s’agite au vent!
C’est un secours manifeste;
Frères, en avant!

Refrain:
"Tenez fermes, car j’avance."
Amis répondons:
"O Jésus, notre espérance,
Par toi nous vaincrons!"

2 Satan, prince de ce monde,
Redouble ses coups;
Notre faiblesse est profonde;
Que deviendrons-nous? [Refrain]

3 Sur la montagne prochaine
Sonnent les clairons…
Au nom du grand Capitaine
Nous triompherons! [Refrain]

4 Le combat est long, peut-être,
Elevons nos cœurs!
Avec Jésus notre Maître,
Nous serons vainqueurs! [Refrain]
