| 1 | | Conflict today is fierce, |
| | | The strength of Satan more; |
| | The cry of battle calling now |
| | | Is louder than before. |
| | | The rebel voice of hell |
| | | E’en stronger now becomes; |
| | But list, the midnight cry resounds, |
| | | Behold, I quickly come! |
| 2 | | Trials more bitter grow, |
| | | The fighting doth enlarge; |
| | Hell’s forces rally all their pow’rs |
| | | And gather for the charge. |
| | | Yet while we wait and watch |
| | | And feel the war severe, |
| | We hear the joyful song ring out, |
| | | Jesus, the Lord. is near! |
| 3 | | ’Tis harder at the end |
| | | The word to testify, |
| | For Satan fights with all his pow’r |
| | | Our witness to defy. |
| | | Much greater strength we need |
| | | The foe to overcome; |
| | How happy when the Lord we see |
| | | And all our sighing’s done! |
| 4 | | Who then will forward go |
| | | Strong in His mighty power? |
| | Who then will firmly trust the Lord |
| | | Until the vict’ry hour; |
| | | Till with the conqu’rors blest, |
| | | The triumph song’s begun? |
| | That man will then rejoice to hear, |
| | | Behold, I quickly come! |
| 5 | | Who then will choose God’s best, |
| | | And take the narrow track, |
| | Though passing thru the wildest storms, |
| | | Yet never turning back? |
| | | Who now will dare press on, |
| | | Enduring pain and fear? |
| | All such will then rejoice to see |
| | | Jesus, the Lord, is near! |
| 6 | | Though deep the darkness be |
| | | We still would onward go, |
| | Till we the day of rapture greet |
| | | And glory ‘round shall glow. |
| | | ’Tis there we’ll see the Lord, |
| | | And Satan overcome; |
| | The overcomers will rejoice, |
| | | Jesus, the Lord. has come! |
