Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#190

190. Be not Dismayed

1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock,
Although the foe's fierce battle shock,
Loud on all sides, assail thee.
Though o'er Thy fall they laugh secure,
Their triumph cannot long endure,
Let not thy courage fail thee.

2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call,
And to His hand commit thine all;
Fear thou no ill impending:
His Gideon shall arise for thee,
God's Word and people manfully,
In God's own time defending.

3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might:
Against themselves the godless fight,
Themselves, not us distressing;
Shame and contempt their lot shall be;
God is with us, with Him are we;
To us belongs His blessing.
