I dare not be defeated

I dare not be defeated

With Calvary in view

Where Jesus conquered Satan

Where all His foes He slew;

Come

Lord

and give the vision

To nerve me for the fight

Make me an overcomer

Clothed with Thy Spirit’s might.

A victor

a victor!

Because of Calvary.

Make me an overcomer

A conqu’ror

a conqu’ror

Lord

in Thee.

I dare not be defeated

Since Christ

my conquering King

Has called me to the battle

Which He did surely win.

Come

Lord

and give me courage

Thy conquering Spirit give

Make me an overcomer

In power within me live.

I dare not be defeated

When Jesus leads me on

To press through hellish regions

To share with Him His Throne;

Come

Lord

and give Thy soldier

The power to wield the sword

Make me an overcomer

Through Thine inerrant Word.

I dare not be defeated

Just at the set of sun

When Jesus waits to whisper

“Well done

beloved

well done;”

Come

Lord

bend from the Glory

On me Thy Spirit cast

Make me an overcomer

A victor to the last.
