Author: Charles Wesley Naylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16708 First Line: Be an overcomer—only cowards yield Refrain First Line: Overcome, overcome Lyrics:
1 Be an overcomer—only cowards yield
When the foe they meet on the battlefield;
We are blood-bought princes of the royal host,
And must falter not, nor desert our post.
Refrain:
Overcome, overcome;
In Jehovah’s might put the foe to flight,
And the victor’s crown you shall wear at last.
2 Be an overcomer—He who stands with you
Is a mighty one who is always true;
In the sorest conflict you shall win the day;
Face the legions dark till they flee away. [Refrain]
3 Be an overcomer—you are Heaven’s heir,
And a crown of life you may ever wear;
So with courage press the battle to the gates,
Till you gain the prize which in Heaven waits. [Refrain]
4 Be an overcomer—forward boldly go;
You are strong enough if you count it so—
Strong enough to conquer thro’ sustaining grace,
And to overcome every foe you face. [Refrain]
