CONFLICT TODAY IS FIERCE
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 pow'r?
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!
