Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#486

486. Rejoice, Believer, in the Lord

1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
who makes your cause his own;
the hope that's built upon his word
shall ne'er be overthrown.

2 Though many foes beset your road,
and feeble is your arm,
your life is hid with Christ in God
beyond the reach of harm.

3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint
or fainting shall not die!
For Jesus, strength of ev'ry saint,
will aid you from on high.

4 Though unperceived by mortal sense,
faith sees him always near!
a guide, a glory, sure defense;
then what have you to fear?

5 As surely as he overcame
and triumphed once for you,
so surely you that love his name
shall in him triumph too.
