Lyrics

No com­pro­mise with evil
Shall be our bat­tle cry,
For God and right must con­quer,
And sin and wrong must die;
Unflinching we are stand­ing,
Uncompromisingly,
Beneath the flag of ho­li­ness
Forever we will be.

Refrain

No com­pro­mise, no com­pro­mise,
This shall be our bat­tle cry,
For God and right we will bold­ly fight,
We will keep the stand­ard high.

No com­pro­mise with er­ror,
For Bi­ble truth we stand,
Let none re­move the land­marks
Erected by God’s hand.
With loy­al­ty our watch­word
And faith in Christ our stay,
We’ll brave­ly storm the forts of sin
And thro’ Him win the day.

Refrain

No com­pro­mise with world­li­ness,
No yield­ing to the wrong,
No low­er­ing the stand­ard
That’s stood thro’ ag­es long;
With Je­sus as our lead­er,
His Spi­rit as our guide,
We’ll firm­ly stand for right­eous­ness
Whatever may be­tide.
