I’ll go, I’ll go in the strength, I’ll go in the strength of the Lord, I’ll go, I’ll go in the strength, I’ll go in the strength of the Lord.
I’ll go in the strength of the Lord, To work he appoints me to do; In joy which his smile doth afford My soul shall her vigour renew. His wisdom shall guard me from harm. His power my sufficiency prove; I’ll trust his omnipotent arm, And prove his unchangeable love. Chorus I’ll go in the strength of the Lord, To conflicts which faith will require, His grace as my shield and reward, My courage and zeal shall inspire. Since he gives the word of command. To meet and encounter the foe, With his sword of truth in my hand, To suffer and triumph I’ll go.
