1.

Lay hold of faith to win
The fight of faith ’gainst sin.
Lusts of the flesh shall be no longer manifest.
God’s light is clear and bright;
Let’s therefore run with might
With Jesus faithfully through every trial and test.

Chorus:

God knows and plans all things;
What’s best for you He brings.
For He knows just what’s best for everyone.
Drive all your cares away;
Like Jesus, let us say,
“O Lord, not mine own will, but Thine alone be done.”

2.

The Spirit’s pow’r and might
Upholds us in the fight;
Thus we with courage on the way of life can run.
To this world crucified,
We thus in life abide.
What was impossible can now by faith be done.

3.

God’s pow’r and counsels good
Bring forth a brotherhood.
Through love and holiness it ever shall endure.
Be no more tossed about;
You need no longer doubt.
Just persevere and you’ll have victory for sure.
