Be an Overcomer

Verse 1

Be an overcomer, only cowards yield When the foe they meet on the battlefield; We are blood-bought princes of the royal host, And must falter not, nor desert our post.

Chorus

Never yield a step in the hottest fight, God will send you help from the realms of light; In Jehovah’s might put the foe to flight, And the victor’s crown you shall wear at last.

Verse 2

Be an overcomer, He who stands with you Is a mighty One, who is always true; In the sorest conflict you shall win the day, Face the legions dark till they flee away.

Verse 3

Be an overcomer, you are heaven’s heir, And a crown of life you may ever wear; So with courage press the battle to the gates, Till you gain the prize which in heaven waits.

Verse 4

Be an overcomer, forward boldly go, You are strong enough if you count it so— Strong enough to conquer through sustaining grace, And to overcome every foe you face.
