The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#150

150. We’re a Valiant Band

1 The battle’s on and it must be won,
We must fight the fight of faith;
We’re a valiant band in a hostile land,
We’ll be faithful unto death.

Refrain:
We’re a valiant band in a hostile land,
But we do not fear the foe,
We are marching along with our banner and song,
And to mighty conquests go,
We are marching along with our banner and song,
And to mighty conquests go.
Onward we go, Onward we go,
Yes, onward to vict’ry go.

2 The pow’rs of sin, both without, within,
We must surely put to flight;
With a steady aim, and in Jesus’ name,
We are sure to win the fight. [Refrain]

3 We’re in the strife, ‘till the end of life,
‘Till the latest foe has fled;
We will never stay, on our conqu’ring way,
For the crown is just ahead. [Refrain]

4 We must prevail, for we cannot fail,
‘Tis the promise of God’s word;
The victory’s sure, if we still endure,
And are faithful to our Lord. [Refrain]
