Hebrews 11
[Verse 1]
The SGon of GCod goes foGrth to wCar,
a kGingly crCown to gGain;
his blDood red banner stAmreams afar:
who foGllows in his trDain?
Who bAmest can drink his cCup of woe,
triuGmphant over pDain,
who paGtient beCars his crGoss beClow,
he foGllows Cin his trGain.
[Chorus]
We shDall not lose the fCight of faith,
For JeDsus is our LCord!
We lCay our carnal weDapons down,
To tGake up his shDining swCord!
[Verse 2]
That maGrtyr fiCrst, whose eGagle eCye
could piGerce beyCond the grGave;
who sDaw his Master Amin the sky,
and caGlled on him to sDave.
Like Amhim, with pardon Con his tongue,
in mGidst of mortal pDain,
he praGyed for tChem that dGid the wrCong:
who foGllows Cin his trGain?
[Chorus]
We shDall not lose the fCight of faith,
For JeDsus is our LCord!
We lCay our carnal weDapons down,
To tGake up his shDining swCord!
[Verse 3]
A gloGrious bCand, the chGosen fCew
on wGhom the SpCirit cGame;
twelve vaDliant saints, their hAmope they knew,
and moGcked the cross and flDame.
They Ammet the tyrant's brCandished steel,
the lGion's gory mDane;
they bGowed their hCeads the deGath to fCeel:
who foGllows Cin their trGain?
[Chorus]
We shDall not lose the fCight of faith,
For JeDsus is our LCord!
We lCay our carnal weDapons down,
To tGake up his shDining swCord!
[Verse 4]
A noGble aCrmy, mGen and bCoys,
the maGtron aCnd the mGaid,
arouDnd the Savior's tAmhrone rejoice,
in robGes of light arrDayed.
They clAmimbed the steep asCcent of heaven,
through pGeril, toil and pDain;
O GGod, to Cus may grGace be giCven,
to foGllow Cin their trGain.
[Chorus]
We shDall not lose the fCight of faith,
For JeDsus is our LCord!
We lCay our carnal weDapons down,
To tGake up his shDining swCord!
