Defeat we'll never know

Representative Text

1 We're marching forth to conquer sin,
Batt'ling for the right;
No doubts or fears shall keep us back,
For Jesus is our light.

Chorus:
Then let us be joyful and happy,
As on our way we go;
We march into battle with song, and shout,
"Defeat we never know!"

2 Our warfare is not of this world,
Nor our weapons seen;
Still we are sure we'll conquer all,
For Christ our strength has been. [Chorus]

3 O may we ever watch and pray,
While we march along;
And soon, if faithful, we will sing,
Among that great white throng. [Chorus]
