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?

Refrain

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

Refrain

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?

Refrain
