He That Overcometh

In this world of sin and sorrow There are burdens we must bear

Author: A. Byron Condo
Tune: [In this world of sin and sorrow] (Condo)
Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

1. In this world of sin and sorrow
There are burdens we must bear,
There are conflicts and sore trials
That we here must daily share.

Chorus:
Unto him that overcometh
Is the precious promise given;
Unto him that overcometh,
There awaits a crown in heaven.

2 There's a tempter to be baffled,
There are wrongs to be made right;
There are stubborn hearts to conquer,
There are foes to put to flight.
[Chorus]

3 There are lamps to be kept burning,
There are duties for each day;
There are souls that must be rescued
From their erring, sinful way.
[Chorus]

4 There are feeble hands to steady,
There are fainting hearts to cheer;
There are warnings to be given,
There's a God that we must fear.
[Chorus]
