Hymn Book ‎#47

47. Fear not, O little flock, the foe

1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and power;
And though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o'er God's saints
Lasts but a little hour.

2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, our Lord.
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
His Gideon shall for you arise,
Uphold you and His word.

3 As true as God's own word is true,
Not earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail.
A jest and byword are they grown;
God is with us; we are His own:
Our victory cannot fail.
