Lyrics

Have faith in God, my brother,
And fight the hosts of sin;
The Captain of sal­va­tion
Will give you strength to win.

Refrain

Have faith and pray,
The Word sincerely speak;
Trust God, obey,
All needed blessings seek.

O speak the word, my brother,
Its treasures rich unfold;
Point sinners to the Sav­ior,
Whose love can ne’er be told.

Refrain

Pray without ceasing, brother,
And all thy wants make known
To Him who reigns in Hea­ven
Upon His royal throne.
