Surrounded by a Host of Foes

Surrounded by a host of foes

Stormed by a host of foes with­in

Nor swift to flee

nor strong t’op­pose

Single

against hell

earth

and sin

Single

yet un­dis­mayed

I am;

I dare be­lieve in Je­sus’ name.

What though a thou­sand hosts en­gage

A thou­sand worlds

my soul to shake?

I have a shield shall quell their rage

And drive the ali­en ar­mies back;

Portrayed it bears a bleed­ing Lamb

I dare be­lieve in Je­sus’ name.

Me to re­trieve from Sa­tan’s hands

Me from this ev­il world to free

To purge my sins

and loose my bands

And save from all ini­qui­ty

My Lord and God from Heav’n He came;

I dare be­lieve in Je­sus’ name.

Salvation in His name there is

Salvation from sin

death

and hell

Salvation in­to glo­ri­ous bliss

How great sal­va­tion

who can tell!

But all He hath for mine I claim;

I dare be­lieve in Je­sus’ name.
