Representative Text

1 Arise! arise! arise! be not afraid;
Arise! arise! for God will be thine aid.
Yes, the Lord will go before thee,
And His banner shall be o’er thee,
While the mighty pow’r of evil shall be slayed.

Refrain:
Trust ye in the Lord forever,
And thy trust He will reward,
He will be thy strong Deliv’rer,
He will be thy watch and ward;
With the sword of the Lord and Gideon,
Ye shall smite the hosts of Midian,
Ye shall conquer in the battle, praise the Lord!

2 March on! march on! for God is with the right;
March on! march on! and ye shall surely smite
As a man the host of Midian,
For the Lord will fight for Gideon,
And the army of the foes be put to flight. [Refrain]

3 Behold! behold! oh, trusting little band;
Behold! behold! and ye shall understand.
Tho’ the evil ones surround thee,
Yet they never shall confound thee,
If ye faithfully obey the Lord’s command. [Refrain]
