God with us, we need not fear

1 God with us! We need not fear; Jesus crowns with life eternal; Faithful let us be while here, Till God ends our pilgrim journey; Trumpets for the conflict sound; Up, ye valiant, stand your ground! 2 See, our Saviour leads the way; Triumph marks His ev’ry footstep; Follow Him in glad array Bravely with courageous effort! Though He leads through blood and death, Heroes never lose their faith. 3 Fiercely shall our foe approach; Many brethren brave are falling; For God’s kingdom they endure; Life eternal is their calling. He in endless bliss shall live Who for Christ his life will give. 4 Do not fear the tempter’s wrath, Though the man of sin be raging; Soon to Judgment he must pass; And then, brethren, we shall enter Where no sorrow e’er is known, Where all dread and fear have flown. 5 We behold the heav’nly throng Who in ages past have suffered Persecution, hate and wrong, Who for God their lives have offered; Look beyond, behold their course; Strive as they, to heaven’s doors.
