1.    The heroes of faith before us pass on,
       Their battles are fought and their victory’s won,
       They lived for their Master, and shewed us the way,
       Though dead they still speak to the saints of today.

                      CHORUS

       Let us follow the Master as the saints gone before,
       Let us take faith and courage from His bountifulStore,
       He will strengthen your hand for He never can fail,
       Through His might we shall ever prevail.

2.    They suffered with joy, to follow their Lord,
       With hearts filled with love, did they live out His Word,
       Called, chosen and faithful, the truth to defend,
       They loved not their lives and were true to the end.

3.    We stand in the rank, our courage is small,
       We see the great need, and on Jesus we call,
       O, give us the power, Lord, Thy faith and Thy grace,
       To go to the battle and take up our place.

4.    O, help us be bold, stronghearted and free,
       We cling to Thy Word, all our trust is in Thee,
       When Thou art beside us, though others have gone,
       Thy presence will cheer us, and help us press on.

5.    Be filled with His Spirit, and be not dismayed,
       The Lord of the host of the saints gone ahead,
       Is standing beside you to prove Himself strong,
       So lift up your heart singing Him a new song.

6.    Be steadfast and true, the Lord is with you,
       What He did for others He’ll do for you too,
       He’ll strengthen your heart, and He’ll fill it with grace,
       That you too will meet Him with joy face to face.
