607. Faint not, Christian! though the road

1 Faint not, Christian! though the road
Leading to thy blest abode,
Darksome be, and dangerous too;
Christ thy Guide will bring thee through.

2 Faint not, Christian! though in rage
Satan would thy soul engage;
Gird on Faith's anointed shield,
Bear it to the battle-field.

3 Faint not, Christian! though the world
Has its hostile flag unfurled;
Hold the cross of Jesus fast;
Thou shalt overcome at last.

4 Faint not, Christian! Jesus near,
Soon in glory will appear;
And his love will then bestow
Power to conquer every foe.
