English poem
O Do Not Be Discouraged.
by Hezekiah Butterworth (1839–1905)
Written about 1803, by the Rev. John A. Grenade, born in 1770; died 1806.
O do not be discouraged, } For Jesus is your Friend; } bis He will give you grace to conquer, And keep you to the end.
Fight on, ye little soldiers, } The battle you shall win, } bis For the Saviour is your Captain, And He has vanquished sin.
And when the conflict's over, } Before Him you shall stand, } bis You shall sing His praise forever In Canaan's happy land.
