1.

Seek God's kingdom first and last!

Make your footsteps sure and fast.

/: Step by step you'll then progress

And the land by faith possess. :/

2.

O be very strong and bold,

And God's works you shall behold.

/: He'll the way for you prepare;

Follow on and nothing spare. :/

3.

Now we heed God's battle call;

Mighty foes within must fall

/: That are dwelling in the land;

'Gainst our faith they cannot stand. :/

4.

Trusting God, we go in rest,

As we keep His laws so blest.

/: The resistance of the foe

Only causes love to grow. :/

5.

With our hearts we've understood:

All things happen for our good.

/: God will guide all things so we

Can abide in victory. :/

'So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. '
II Corinthians 5:6-9
