Listen, frightened spirits, hear! Christ has spoken loud and clear: 'Through all tempest, pain and fear, You shall not be overcome.' When you agonize and grieve, Call to mind his cross, believe Love like this will not deceive. You shall not be overcome. Though you suffer grievous ill, Dare to trust his promise still; Sure, in God's unchanging will, You shall not be overcome. In your trouble and distress, Though your faith grow less and less, Grounded in Christ's faithfulness, You shall not be overcome. Word of Life, once crucified, Resurrected Love, who died, Held for ever at your side, We shall not be overcome!
