34. God Alone Can Help

1 With a heart brave and ready,
With a hand strong and steady,
In the name of our Jehovah we will press the battle on;
With a soul true and loyal,
With an aim high and royal,
Let us follow where he leads until the victory is won.

Refrain:
For ‘tis God alone can help us to fight the battle thro’;
It is only he, the Lord, who wondrous things can do;
God alone can defend us, he alone pow’r can send us,
So we trust in his strong arm to fight the battle thro’.

2 With an earnest endeavor,
With a faith flat’ring never,
In the strength of our Jehovah we will challenge sin and wrong;
If the Lord go before us,
And his banner e o’er us,
We will follow till thro’ him we sing the glad triumphant song. [Refrain]

3 There are wrongs to be righted
And, in purpose united,
We should march in ranks unbroken to the earnest battle field;
God, his honor defending,
God, his help to us sending,
Will empow’r us in the conflict till the foe is forced to yield. [Refrain]
