Oft In Danger, Oft In Woe

Henry Kirke White (1806) • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 14:15

Verse 1

Oft in danger, oft in woe, onward, Christians, onward go; bear the toil, maintain the strife, strengthened with the bread of life.

Verse 2

Onward, Christians, onward go, join the war, and face the foe; will ye flee in danger's hour? Know ye not your Captain's power?

Verse 3

Let not sorrow dim your eye; soon shall every tear be dry: let not fears your course impede; great your strength, if great your need.

Verse 4

Let your drooping hearts be glad; march in heavenly armour clad; fight, nor think the battle long: soon shall victory wake your song.

Verse 5

Onward then in battle move; more than conquerors ye shall prove: though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go.
