Author: Charles W. Naylor Hymnal: Timeless Truths #813 Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Be an overcomer, only cowards yield Refrain First Line: Never yield a step in the hottest fight Lyrics: 1 Be an overcomer, only cowards yield
When the foe they meet on the battlefield;
We are blood-bought princes of the royal host,
And must falter not, nor desert our post.
Refrain:
Never yield a step in the hottest fight,
God will send you help from the realms of light;
In Jehovah’s might put the foe to flight,
And the victor’s crown you shall wear at last.
2 Be an overcomer, He who stands with you
Is a mighty One, who is always true;
In the sorest conflict you shall win the day,
Face the legions dark till they flee away. [Refrain]
3 Be an overcomer, you are heaven’s heir,
And a crown of life you may ever wear;
So with courage press the battle to the gates,
Till you gain the prize which in heaven waits. [Refrain]
4 Be an overcomer, forward boldly go,
You are strong enough if you count it so—
Strong enough to conquer through sustaining grace,
And to overcome every foe you face. [Refrain] Topics: Warfare Scripture: Revelation 21:7 Tune Title: [Be an overcomer, only cowards yield]
