97. OFT IN DANGER, OFT IN WOE

1. Oft in danger, oft in woe,

Onward, Christians, onward go;

Fight the fight, maintain the strife,

Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

2. Shrink not, Christians: will ye yield?

Will ye quit the painful field?

Will ye flee in danger’s hour?

Know ye not your Captain’s

3. Let your drooping hearts be glad;

March in heavenly armour clad:

Fight, nor think the battle long;

Soon shall victory tune your song.

4. Let not sorrow dim your eye,

Soon shall every tear be dry;

Let not fears your course impede,

Great your strength if great your need.

5. Onward then to glory move,

More than conquerors ye shall prove;

Though opposed by many a foe,

Christian soldiers, onward go.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
