4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless : Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia !

6 The golden evening brightens in the west ; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluia!

7 But lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day ; The saints triumphant rise in bright array ;

The King of glory passes on His way. Alleluia !

8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia !

That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life.

Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the cross ; Our only hope, the Crucified !

2 Did we in our own strength confide,

Our striving would be losing ; Were not the right man on our side,

The man of God's own choosing : Dost ask who that may be ? Christ Jesus, it is He ; Lord Sabaoth His Name, 4

From age to age the same,

And He must win the battle.

3 And though this world, with devils

filled, Should threaten to undo us ; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us :

The prince of darkness grim, — We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo ! his doom is sure,

One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth ;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth :

Let goods and kindred go,

This mortal life also ;

The body they may kill :

God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.

On flowery beds of ease, Increase my courage, Lord;

While others fought to win the prize, I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, And sailed through bloody seas ? Supported by Thy word.

3 Are there no foes for me to face ? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God ?
