Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A gospel hymn of assurance drawn from Romans 8:31, calling believers to rejoice and stand strong, confident that God's presence makes every fear groundless. It was likely composed in the late 19th-century American revival tradition.
Verse 1
Rejoice in the Lord! Oh, let His mercy cheer;
He sunders the bands that enthral;
Redeem'd by His blood why should we ever fear
Since Jesus is our "all in all"?
Chorus
"If God be for us, if God be for us,
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who? Who? Who?
Who can be against us, against us?"
Verse 2
Be strong in the Lord! rejoicing in His might,
Be loyal and true day by day;
When evils assail, be valiant for the right,
And He will be our strength and stay.
Chorus
"If God be for us, if God be for us,
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who? Who? Who?
Who can be against us, against us?"
Verse 3
Confide in His word - His promises so sure;
In Christ they are "yea and amen;"
Though earth pass away, they ever shall endure,
'Tis written o'er and o'er again.
Chorus
"If God be for us, if God be for us,
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who? Who? Who?
Who can be against us, against us?"
Verse 4
Abide in the Lord; secure in His control,
'Tis life everlasting begun;
To pluck from His hand the weakest, trembling soul-
It never, never can be done!
Chorus
"If God be for us, if God be for us,
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who? Who? Who?
Who can be against us, against us?"
