1.

Put on God’s full armor; grip the Spirit’s Sword.
Battling for the Lord will bring you great reward.
Hear the prince of darkness roaring in the night;
Few dare for the truth to fight.

Chorus:

/: Go forth now believing God! :/
Even if the hosts of hell against you fight,
You will win by God’s great might.

2.

God’s sharp Word so many people twist around,
Yet imagine they the Word of Truth expound.
Foes of Jesus’ cross abuse His name and grace.
Where are those who truth embrace?

3.

Many, seeking honor, follow worldly ways;
Few are they who live the Word of God these days.
Few believe that He can give us victory,
So like Jesus we can be.

4.

Many needy souls are struggling, lost and blind,
Seeking life and Spirit, but just death they find.
Preach the cross, which frees us from sin’s dreadful sway;
Point them to the narrow way.

5.

See your obligation for the truth you know.
Pray to God that He will cause your love to grow.
Give yourself completely for God’s kingdom here.
God is with you; do not fear.
