131. I Believe We Shall Win

1 We're a band that shall conquer the foe,
If we fight in the strength of the King;
With the sword of the Spirit we know
We sinners to Jesus shall bring.

Refrain:
I believe we shall win,
If we fight in the strength of the King;
I believe we shall win,
If we fight in the strength of the King.

2 We have conquered in times that are past,
And have scattered the foe from the field;
So we’ll fight for the King till the last,
And the sword of the Spirit we’ll wield. [Refrain]

3 Our foe may be mighty and brave,
And the fighting be hard and severe;
But the King is the Mighty to Save,
And in conflict He always is near. [Refrain]

4 Ever true in the army of God,
We will fight in the name of the King;
We shall win with the fire and the blood,
And the world to His feet we shall bring. [Refrain]
