1.

Let us never be failing, but in battle stand our ground.
Let us never be discouraged; we’re His bride.
For a great cloud of witnesses is gathered all around,
And the same Almighty God is on our side.

Chorus:

/: They that wait upon Jehovah
shall have pow’r to be more than conquerors here. :/

2.

Let us press on to vict’ry, leaving all that is behind.
Let us follow on, possessing as we go.
For the land lieth open, and great treasures we shall find;
We by faith shall enter in, we surely know.

3.

Jesus opened the way for us; in all things He obeyed;
With assurance we can follow on this way.
Every hill shall be flattened, every high place low be laid;
Take good courage, He’ll give vict’ry every day.

4.

Grace abundant is given that His bride can be prepared.
Let us trust Him; He gives vict’ry in the strife.
And all else is but dross when to His glory it’s compared;
For we now can be partakers of His life.

5.

For the great love of Jesus we give glory to His name;
By His grace He doth enable us to stand.
In the hope He has given us we’ll not be put to shame,
For to strengthen us He’s always near at hand.
