Representative Text

1 Does your burden heavy grow?
From the Lord cometh help;
Do your sorrows overflow?
From the Lord cometh help.
Be a soldier brave and true,
For the world is watching you,
And your prize is just in view,
From the Lord cometh help.

Refrain:
From the Lord, from the Lord,
For the struggle you will help and comfort find,
Truth emblazoned, love impearled,
Show your colors to the world,
‘Till the foe is backward hurl’d,—
From the Lord cometh help.

2 You have started up the hill,
From the Lord cometh help;
You may climb it if you will,
From the Lord cometh help;
Tho’ your progress may be slow,
Yet be satisfied to know
You are right, and onward, go,—
From the Lord cometh help. [Refrain]

3 When temptation’s hosts assail,
From the Lord cometh help;
They shall not with thee prevail,
From the Lord cometh help;
Tho’ you may be sorely tried,
Yet remember you’ve a Guide
Who is ever by your side—
From the Lord cometh help. [Refrain]
