The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#820

820. We're a band that shall conquer the foe

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,
ff we fight in the strength of the King.

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

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.

4 In the name of the King we will fight,
With our banners unfurled to the breeze;
We will battle for God and the right,
And the kingdom of Satan we’ll seize.

5 Ever true to the Army and 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.
