1 Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage:
Your mighty Defender is always the same.
Mount up with wings, as the eagle ascending:
Vict'ry is sure when you call on His name.
Refrain Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord;
And be of good courage, for He is your Guide.
Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord;
And rejoice for the vict'ry is yours.
2 So put on the armor the Lord has provided:
And place your defense in His unfailing care.
Trust Him, for He will be with you in battle,
Lighting your path to avoid ev'ry snare. (refrain)
3 Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage:
Your mighty Commander will vanquish the foe.
Fear not the battle, for the vict'ry is always His;
He will protect you wherever you go. (refrain)
