'Rejoice, believer, in the Lord' (hymn) written by John Newton

Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,

Who makes your cause His own;

The hope that's built upon His Word

Can ne'er be overthrown.


Tho' many foes beset your road,

And feeble is your arm.

Your life is hid with Christ in God

Beyond the reach of harm.


Weak as you are, you shall not faint

Or fainting shall not die!

Jesus, the strength of every saint,

Will aid you from on high.


Tho' sometimes unperceived by sense,

Faith sees Him always near!

A Guide, a Glory, a Defence;

Then what have you to fear?


As surely as He overcame

And triumphed once for you,

So surely you that love His name

Shall in Him triumph too.
