1
Praise the Savior, ye who know Him,
 
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
 
Gladly let us render to Him
 
All we have and are.
2
Jesus is the name that charms us,
 
He for conflict fits and arms us,
 
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
 
While we trust in Him.
“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:11-17)
3
Trust in Him, ye saints, forever,
 
He is faithful, changing never;
 
Neither force nor guile can sever
 
Those He loves from Him.
4
Keep us, Lord, oh keep us cleaving
 
To Thyself and still believing,
 
Till the hour of our receiving
 
Promised joys with Thee.
“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21)
“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:23)
5
Then we shall be where we would be,
 
Then we shall be what we should be;
 
Things that are not now nor could be
 
Soon shall be our own.
“For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.” (Philippians 1:23)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
