​1. Triumph, O Thou city fair,
    Which the Saviour does prepare
    For the righteous fold so pure!
    They are ever kept secure.
 
2. Though the enemies assail,
    Fearless shall Thy flock prevail,
    For the Lord of glory bright
    Gives thee liberty and light.
 
3. Doth the nations’ wrath increase?
    Let them rage--bear thou in peace!
    Suffer in a patient mood;
    Bleed! for fruitful is thy blood!
 
4. All thy foes the Lord pursues,
    Till at length He all subdues,
    Lays the world beneath His yoke,
    Who His vengeance did provoke.
 
5. He who will not to Thee turn,
    And Thy pard’ning graces spurn,
    Shall not see Thy glory bright,
    But great woe and endless night.
 
6. “Jesus lives!” my song shall be.
    He upholds and comforts me.
    Though all hell oppose my ways,
    God defends me. Him I’ll praise!
 
7. And Thy fold in one accord
    Worships Thee, our King and Lord!
    When the storms are raging sore,
    Be our refuge evermore!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
