Representative Text

1 O ye who are fighting the forces of wrong,
Take courage, thy banner shall never be furled;
The vict’ry is coming, is coming ere long,
For God watches over the world.

Refrain:
Yes, God watches over the world,
The wrong from its throne shall be hurled;
The vict’ry is coming, is coming ere long,
For God watches over the world.

2 The forces of evil are losing their pow’r,
All lands shall behold thy bright banner unfurled;
Rich blessings are coming in wonderful show’r,
For God watches over the world. [Refrain]

3 Be valiant and loyal, trust God and be strong,
Let doubts and forebodings swift downward be hurled;
The vict’ry is coming, is coming ere long,
For God watches over the world. [Refrain]
