- 1Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
- Who makes your cause his own;
- The hope that's built upon his word
- Shall ne'er be overthrown.
- 2Though many foes beset your road,
- And feeble is your arm,
- Your life is hid with Christ in God,
- Beyond the reach of harm.
- 3Weak as you are, you shall not faint,
- Or, fainting, shall not die;
- Jesus, the strength of every saint,
- Will aid you from on high.
- 4Though now unseen by outward sense,
- Faith sees him always near,
- A guide, a glory, a defense;
- What, then, have we to fear?
- 5As surely as he overcame,
- And triumphed once for you,
- So surely you that love his name
- Shall triumph in him too.
