340. Oft in Danger, Oft in Woe

1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
Onward, Christians, onward go,
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

2 Shrink not, Christians, will ye yield?
Will ye quit the painful field?
Will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's pow'r?

3 Let your fainting hearts be glad;
March in heav'nly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Vict'ry soon shall tune your song.

4 Lord of hosts, direct our way,
That we conquer in the fray;
Let not sin our course impede,
Be our strength, supply our need.

Amen.
