[Tune: Crüger. 76.76.76.76]
Be strong and of good courage
The battle is the Lord's!
Put on your holy armour
And wield your two edged sword.
Stand firm with feet unslipping,
Your belt of truth secure.
Keep marching unto Zion,
You're in a holy war!
Be strong and of good courage
The battle has been won!
The battle has been won!
Jehovah saw the triumph
Of His belovèd Son.
His heel was bruised at Calv'ry,
Thorns rested on His brow,
But Jesus, King of glory,
Is interceding now.
Be strong and of good courage
The battle, soon will cease!
Our Captain of salvation
Will bring His people peace.
Let not your heart be troubled,
Believe on Him alone.
He is the Lord of glory,
The Master Cornerstone.
Be strong and of good courage,
The Lord reigns from on high.
He is the mighty victor,
He knows our inward sighs.
His promises are steadfast,
His love is firm and sure
His shadow is our refuge
We're His forevermore.
Be strong and of good courage,
Though trouble may abound,
Our peace; eternal refuge,
In Jesus may be found.
He is our Holy Shelter,
He is our Blessèd Calm.
He is our strength in weakness,
Our Shadow from all harm.
