We never need be vanquished

- We never need be vanquished,
- we never need give in,
- though waging war with Satan,
- and compassed round by sin.
- Temptations will beset us,
- allurements oft assail,
- but in the name of Jesus
- we shall, we must prevail.
- God wills not that His people
- by sin enthralled should be,
- but that their lives, as ransomed,
- be lives of victory;
- and so at our disposal
- He places all His power,
- that we from its resources
- may draw in danger‟s hour.
- Herein is hid the secret
- of an all-glorious life
- whereby we conquer Satan,
- and rise above sin‟s strife.
- Abiding in the Saviour,
- self prostrate in the dust,
- we live to do His bidding
- in glad perpetual trust.
- We in ourselves are nothing,
- a small and feeble host,
- nor have we aught of prowess
- wherein to make our boast.
- Our stronghold is Christ Jesus,
- His grace alone we plead,
- His name our shield and banner,
- Himself, just all we need.
