Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed the truth to triumph through us: the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.
