We never need be vanquished,
We never need give in,
Though waging war with Satan,
And compassed round by sin.
Temptations will beset us,
Allurements oft assail,
But in the Name of Jesus
We shall, we must prevail.
God wills not that His people
By sin enthralled should be,
But that their lives, as ransomed,
Be lives of victory;
And so at our disposal
He places all His pow'r,
That we from its resources
May draw in danger's hour.
Herein is hid the secret
Of an all-glorious life
Whereby we conquer Satan,
And rise above sin's strife.
Abiding in the Saviour,
Self prostrate in the dust,
We live to do His bidding
In glad perpetual trust.
We in ourselves are nothing,
A small and feeble host,
Nor have we aught of prowess
Wherein to make our boast.
Our stronghold is Christ Jesus,
His grace alone we plead,
His Name our shield and banner,
Himself- just all we need.
