In the warfare that is raging

September 2

In the warfare that is raging
For the truth and for the right,
When the conflict fierce is raging
With the powers of the night;
God needs people brave and true:
May He then depend on you?

See, they come on sable pinions,
Come in strong Satanic might,-
Powers come, and dark dominions,
From the regions of the night;
God requires the brave and true:
May He then depend on you?

From His throne the Father sees us;
Angels help us to prevail;
And our leader true is Jesus,
And we shall not, cannot fail:
Triumph crowns the brave and true,-
May the Lord depend on you?

Chorus
May the Lord depend on you?
Loyalty is but His due;
Say, O spirit, brave and true,
That He may depend on you.
     W. C. Martin
