Rejoice, Believer, in the Lord
John Newton (1779) • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27
Verse 1
Rejoice, believer, in the Lord, who makes your cause His own; the hope that's built upon His Word can ne'er be overthrown.
Verse 2
Tho' many foes beset your road, and feeble is your arm, your life is hid with Christ in God beyond the reach of harm.
Verse 3
Weak as you are, you shall not faint or fainting shall not die! Jesus, the strength of every saint, will aid you from on high.
Verse 4
Tho' sometimes unperceived by sense, faith sees Him always near! a Guide, a Glory, a Defense; then what have you to fear?
Verse 5
As surely as He overcame and triumphed once for you, so surely you that love His name shall in Him triumph too.
