A hymn by John Newton, published in Olney Hymns in 1779. We, as believers, will persevere and be victorious because of the hope that is ours, built on the Word of God, and can never be overthrown!<\/p>\n
Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
\nWho makes your cause His own;
\nThe hope that’s built upon His word
\nCan ne’er be overthrown.<\/p>\n
Though many foes beset your road,
\nAnd feeble is your arm,
\nYour life is hid with Christ in God,
\nBeyond the reach of harm.<\/p>\n
Weak as you are, you shall not faint;
\nOr fainting, shall not die;
\nJesus, the strength of every saint,
\nWill aid you from on high.<\/p>\n
Though sometimes unperceived by sense,
\nFaith sees Him always near,
\nA Guide, a Glory, a Defence:
\nThen what have you to fear?<\/p>\n
As surely as He overcame,
\nAnd triumphed once for you;
\nSo surely you that love His name
\nShall triumph in Him too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
