1.

Seek God’s kingdom first and last!
Make your footsteps sure and fast.
/: Step by step you’ll then progress
And the land by faith possess. :/

2.

O be very strong and bold,
And God’s works you shall behold.
/: He’ll the way for you prepare;
Follow on and nothing spare. :/

3.

Now we heed God’s battle call;
Mighty foes within must fall
/: That are dwelling in the land;
’Gainst our faith they cannot stand. :/

4.

Trusting God, we go in rest,
As we keep His laws so blest.
/: The resistance of the foe
Only causes love to grow. :/

5.

With our hearts we’ve understood:
All things happen for our good.
/: God will guide all things so we
Can abide in victory. :/
