Who thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
[Chorus:]
Alleluia, Alleluia.
2. Oh, may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
— Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold. [Chorus]
3. Thou art our rock, our fortress, and our might;
Thou, Lord, our captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, our one true light. [Chorus]
4. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. [Chorus]
5. From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
— Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. [Chorus] Topics: Assurance; Brotherhood; Courage; Enduring to the End; Example; Faith; Funeral; Genealogy and Temple Work; Music and Song; Praise and Thanksgiving; Spirituality; Trials Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Languages: English Tune Title: SINE NOMINE
