1 No surrender to the foe!
Shout the cry where’er you go;
Falter never! we must win,
No surrendering to sin.
No surrender! let it be
Battle cry for you and me;
God will help us, He is near;
He is with us, do not fear.
No surrender to the foe!
Shout the cry where’er you go;
Falter never! we must win,
No surrendering to sin.

2 No surrender! press along,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are strong;
We shall more than conquerors be,
If we trust, O Lord, in Thee!
No surrender! angel bands
From the fair and heav’nly lands
Haste to help us; more are they
Than the foes that bar our way.
No surrender! press along,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are strong;
We shall more than conquerors be,
If we trust, O Lord, in Thee!

3 No surrender! then at last,
All our conflicts overpast,
Glad will be our welcoming
To the city of the King.
Forward, then! fall into line!
Bright the conqueror’s crown will shine;
Storm the camp of sin and wrong,
Sweet will be the victor’s song.
No surrender! then at last,
All our conflicts overpast,
Glad will be our welcoming
To the city of the King.
