8814. In The King's Strength

1 We’re a band that shall conquer the foe,
If we fight in the strength of the King;
With the sword of the Spirit, we know,
We sinners to Jesus will bring.

Refrain:
I believe we shall win;
If we fight in the strength of the King;
I believe we shall win;
If we fight in the strength of the King.

2 We have conquered in times that are past,
And scattered the foe from the field;
So we’ll fight for the King to the last,
And the sword of the Spirit we’ll wield. [Refrain]

3 Our foe may be mighty and brave,
And the fighting be hard and severe;
But the King is the mighty to save;
And in conflict He always is near. [Refrain]

4 In the name of the King we will fight,
With our banners unfurled to the breeze;
We will battle for God and the right,
And the kingdom of Satan we’ll seize. [Refrain]

5 Ever true to our leader’s command,
We will fight in the name of the King;
We shall win with the fire and the blood,
And the world to His feet we shall bring. [Refrain]
