The Morning Star ‎#84

84. When our ways

1 By and by our foes we'll conquer,
If our ways please the Lord;
Triumph, too, in each encounter,
If our ways please the Lord;
Why, then, should we be retreating?
Let each heart with hope be beating,
Waiting for the Master's greeting,
If our ways please the Lord.

Chorus:
Sing the song of victory;
Sing the song of victory;
We shall praise him by and by,
If our ways please the Lord.

2 We must wear the Christian armor,
If our ways please the Lord;
We must fight like men of valor,
If our ways please the Lord;
Take the helmet of salvation,
Faith your shield in every station,
Publish Christ to every nation,
If our ways please the Lord. [Chorus]

3 We shall reign with Him in glory,
If our ways please the Lord;
We shall tell the wondrous story,
If our ways please the Lord;
Onward, then, His banner o'er us;
See our foes shall fall before us;
We shall join the mighty chorus,
If our ways please the Lord. [Chorus]
