1. God with us! We need not fear;
Jesus crowns with life eternal;
Faithful let us be while here,
Till God ends our pilgrim journey;
Trumpets for the conflict sound;
Up, ye valiant, stand your ground!
2. See, our Saviour leads the way;
Triumph marks His ev’ry footstep;
Follow Him in glad array
Bravely with courageous effort!
Though He leads through blood and death,
Heroes never lose their faith.
3. Fiercely shall our foe approach;
Many brethren brave are falling;
For God’s kingdom they endure;
Life eternal is their calling.
He in endless bliss shall live
Who for Christ his life will give.
4. Do not fear the tempter’s wrath,
Though the man of sin be raging;
Soon to Judgment he must pass;
And then, brethren, we shall enter
Where no sorrow e’er is known,
Where all dread and fear have flown.
5. We behold the heav’nly throng
Who in ages past have suffered
Persecution, hate and wrong,
Who for God their lives have offered;
Look beyond, behold their course;
Strive as they, to heaven’s doors.
Jesus crowns with life eternal;
Faithful let us be while here,
Till God ends our pilgrim journey;
Trumpets for the conflict sound;
Up, ye valiant, stand your ground!
