When the power of darkness comes in like a flood,

The battle belongs to the Lord!

He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood,

The battle belongs to the Lord!

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear,

The battle belongs to the Lord!

Take courage, my friend, your redemption is near,

The battle belongs to the Lord!
