Perseverance

Rejoice, believer, in the LORD
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope that's built upon his word,
Can ne'er be overthrown.

Though many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm;
Your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD
Beyond the reach of harm.

Weak as you are, you shall not faint,
Or fainting shall not die;
JESUS, the strength of every saint,
Will aid you from on high.

Though sometimes unperceived by sense,
Faith sees him always near;
A Guide, a Glory, a Defence,
Then what have you to fear?

As surely as he overcame,
And triumphed once for you;
So surely you, that love his name,
Shall triumph in him too.
