Representative Text

1 God will not fail you,
Tho’ wrong assail you,
If to His pow’r you look for aid;
Then trusting ever,
And doubting never,
Press forward, trust, be not dismayed.

Refrain:
God never fails! He never fails!
Tho’mighty host of sin assails;
More strong His pow’r than coming foe,
Who trusts in Him shall vict’ry know;
God never fails! He never fails!
Tho’mighty host of sin assails;
No one to Him has looked in vain,
Press on the vict’ry to attain!

2 God will not fail you,
Tho’wrong assail you,
From His high throne He watches all;
His pow’r defending,
His host attending,
The mighty foe in fear shall fall. [Refrain]

3 God will not fail you,
Tho’wrong assail you,
With Him shall one a thousand prove;
His pow’r if glorious,
His arm victorious,
His mighty hosts to vict’ry move. [Refrain]
