WE NEVER NEED BE VANQUISHED

We never need be vanquished,

we never need give in,

though waging war with Satan,

and compassed round by sin.

Temptations will beset us,

allurements oft assail,

but in the name of Jesus

we shall, we must prevail.




God wills not that His people

by sin enthralled should be,

but that their lives, as ransomed,

be lives of victory;

and so at our disposal

He places all His power,

that we from its resources

may draw in danger‟s hour.




Herein is hid the secret

of an all-glorious life

whereby we conquer Satan,

and rise above sin‟s strife.

Abiding in the Saviour,

self prostrate in the dust,

we live to do His bidding

in glad perpetual trust.




We in ourselves are nothing,

a small and feeble host,

nor have we aught of prowess

wherein to make our boast.

Our stronghold is Christ Jesus,

His grace alone we plead,

His name our shield and banner,

Himself, just all we need.
