Conflict today is fierce

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!

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!

’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!

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!

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!

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!
