1 Be not afraid where’er you go,
To tell of Jesus’ love,
We’ll conquer here our ev’ry foe,
And reign with him above.

Refrain:
We’ll conquer ev’ry foe,
Wherever we may go,
We’ll conquer in his name;
Thro’ ev’ry good and ill,
We’ll trust in Jesus still,
And conquer in his name.

2 With loyal hearts and grateful song,
We’ll follow at his call,
Tho’ many dangers ‘round us throng,
He’s greater far than all. [Refrain]

3 We’ll life the royal standard high,
The blood-stain’d banner wave,
And sing in notes that never die,
Our Jesus came to save. [Refrain]

4 Then onward still with shouts that rise
Above the battle’s din,
Thro’ him we’ll gain the blessed prize,
Thro’ him the vict’ry win. [Refrain]
