May God Depend On You?

William C. Martin (1878) • English

In the warfare that is raging For the truth and for the right, When the conflict, fierce, is raging With the powers of the night, God needs people brave and true: May He then depend on you?

Chorus

May the Lord depend on you? Loyalty is but His due; Say, O spirit, brave and true, That He may depend on you.

See, they come on sable pinions, Come in strong, Satanic might,— Powers come, and dark dominions, From the regions of the night; God requires the brave and true: May He then depend on you?

Chorus

May the Lord depend on you? Loyalty is but His due; Say, O spirit, brave and true, That He may depend on you.

Verse 3

From His throne the Father sees us; Angels help us to prevail; And our leader true is Jesus, And we shall not, cannot fail: Triumph crowns the brave and true,— May the Lord depend on you?

Chorus

May the Lord depend on you? Loyalty is but His due; Say, O spirit, brave and true, That He may depend on you.
