Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #847 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 with refrain Refrain First Line: May the Lord depend on you? Lyrics: 1 In the warfare that is raging
For the truth and for the right,
When the conflict, fierce, is raging
With the powers of the night,
God needs people brave and true:
May He then depend on you?
Refrain:
May the Lord depend on you?
Loyalty is but His due;
Say, O spirit, brave and true,
That He may depend on you.
2 See, they come on sable pinions,
Come in strong, Satanic might,—
Powers come, and dark dominions,
From the regions of the night;
God requires the brave and true:
May He then depend on you? [Refrain]
3 From His throne the Father sees us;
Angels help us to prevail;
And our leader true is Jesus,
And we shall not, cannot fail:
Triumph crowns the brave and true,—
May the Lord depend on you? [Refrain] Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Christian Life Fight of Faith Scripture: James 4:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MAY GOD DEPEND ON YOU?
