Wartburg Hymnal ‎#232

232. Be not dismayed, thou little flock

1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock,
Although the foe's fierce battle shock,
Loud on all sides, assail thee.
Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure,
Their triumph cannot long endure;
Let not thy courage fail thee.

2 Thy cause is God's--go at His call,
And to His hands commit thine all;
Fear thou no ill impending:
His Gid'on shall arise for thee,
God's word and people manfully,
In God's own time, defending.

3 Amen, Lord Jesus, hear our cry;
Stir up Thy power, come from on high,
Defend Thy congregation;
So shall Thy church, through endless days,
Give thanks to Thee and chant Thy praise
In joy and adoration.
