1.

Who will battle to lay hold of
Life and glory from above?
Who will fight and give their life, so
They obtain God’s glorious love?
Come along! Come along!
Break all bonds, yes, break each one!

2.

Who will strive without concession
For a heart and mind that’s pure?
Who will make the bold confession,
“From now on I will, for sure!”?
If you dare, if you dare,
Then full war you must declare!

3.

Will you stand against all evil?
Then be bold, have faith in Him!
Do not let yourself be fearful
When you see what dwells within.
Give your all! Do not stall!
Then by faith you’ll conquer all.

4.

Who will persevere in battle—
Never, never to give up?
Who to death will be found faithful,
Never thinking, “That’s enough!”?
This is war, so make sure
That you faithfully endure.

5.

Who are those who love Christ Jesus
More than all this world imparts?
It is only those who’re willing
To believe with all their hearts
That they will, that they can
Overcome just like God’s Lamb!
