I'll never--no never--no never forsake!" Amen.

Ye that are men now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up! - stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own. Put on the Gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up! - stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long: This day, the noise of battle; The next, the victor's song. To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally. Amen.
