\na bulwark never failing;
\nour helper he amid the flood
\nof mortal ills prevaling.

\ndoth seek to work us woe;
\nhis craft and power are great,
\nand armed with cruel hate,
\non earth is not his equal.<\/p>\n

\nDid we in our own strength confide,
\nour striving would be losing,
\nwere not the right man on our side,
\nthe man of God’s own choosing.

\nChrist Jesus, it is he;
\nLord Sabbaoth, his name,
\nfrom age to age the same,
\nand he must win the battle.<\/p>\n

\nAnd though this world, with devils filled,
\nshould threaten to undo us,
\nwe will not fear, for God hath willed
\nhis truth to triumph through us.
\nThe Prince of Darkness grim,
\nwe tremble not for him;
\nhis rage we can endure,
\nfor lo, his doom is sure;
\none little word shall fell him.<\/p>\n

\nThat word above all earthly powers,
\nno thanks to them, abideth;
\nthe Spirit and the gifts are ours,

\nLet goods and kindred go,
\nthis mortal life also;
\nthe body they may kill;
\nGod’s truth abideth still;
\nhis kingdom is forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
