Be Strong In The Lord 

Dear Christian soul, stand guard this night
For evil lurks on every hand;
Gird yourself with God’s sov’reign might;
Awake! Yonder comes Satan’s band. 

See his hosts in battle array;
“Hail, King Satan,” echoes the throng;
Onward, Christian soul, to the fray;
Fear not, for to God you belong. 

Be strong in the Lord, much in prayer;
Stand firm in the pow’r of His might;
Under His wings, His constant care,
Never a moment from His sight 

Stand your ground girt about with truth;
God’s righteousness your armor on
Whether old or yet in your youth
“Be gone, foul fiend, I’m not your pawn!” 

Your feet shod with the Gospel of peace,
In your right hand faith’s mighty shield
Stops fiery darts that will not cease
From one who refuses to yield. 

Salvation’s helmet on your head
And at your side God’s quick sharp sword;
The Word of God removes fear’s dread;
Vic’try goes to our sov’reign Lord. 

Stay alert, ever on your guard,
Much in prayer for protecting grace;
Though the battle at times seems hard
All will be well, such is the case. 

God will never forsake His own,
Ransomed and redeemed at great price;
His love for us is daily shown;
Such love will forever suffice.

O Lord, Thou Art My All

O Lord, Thou art my Rock,
My Fortress and my Guide;
In Thee I put my trust,
In Thee I will abide.

Thy grace is all my need;
On Thee I can rely;
Thy precious blood I plead
My cleansing to supply.

Oh Lord, Thou art my All,
My song in darkest night;
Forgiveness through Thy Son
Has made my pathway bright.

Oh Lord. Thou art my Hope,
My source of life Thou art,
My comfort and my stay,
The joy of all my heart.

Through the Valley of the Shadow 

We may walk through the valley of the shadow without fear,
For our Saviour walked that valley, and He is ever near;
Our Comforter, Sustainer, our Redeemer, and our Friend
Walks along beside us through life that knows no end. 

Death has long been vanquished in the death of Christ our Lord;
This assurance comforts us from God's own Holy Word;
We sorrow not as others who face a hopeless end;
Our lives are safe in Jesus, our Redeemer and our Friend.
