Lyrics

Have faith in God, my bro­ther,
And fight the hosts of sin;
The Cap­tain of sal­va­tion
Will give you strength to win.

Refrain

Have faith and pray,
The Word sin­cere­ly speak;
Trust God, ob­ey,
All need­ed bless­ings seek.

O speak the word, my bro­ther,
Its trea­sures rich un­fold;
Point sin­ners to the Sav­ior,
Whose love can ne’er be told.

Refrain

Pray with­out ceas­ing, bro­ther,
And all thy wants make known
To Him who reigns in Hea­ven
Upon His roy­al throne.
