| 1. "Be not dismayed, thou little flock,
Although the foe's fierce battle-shock
Loud on all sides assail thee.
Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure,
Their triumph cannot long endure;
Let not thy courage fail thee.
2. "Thy cause is God's—go at His call
And to His hand commit thy all,
Fear thou no ill impending;
His Gideon shall arise for thee,
God's word and people manfully
In God's own time defending.
3. "Our hope is sure in Jesus' might;
Against themselves the godless fight,
Themselves, not us, distressing.
Shame and contempt their lot shall be;
God is with us, with Him are we;
To us belongs His blessing."
