By My Spirit

 

As olive trees gave of their oil,

Supplying candles that in bowls did lie

In candlesticks set on high

To help priests in their priestly toil,

As the candles give men light

So the Gospel gives men sight.

 

Lies the power within the Gospel

Of salvation for all men,

The victorious Christ shall win  

And overwhelm all forces hostile,

Through His Spirit halt Death's rattle,

Through His Spirit bring the battle.

 

Not by might of sword and shield,

(No surprise or wonderment),

Not by power of government

Shall Satanic forces yield.

Might and power will they defeat

If that is all with men they meet.

 

"By My spirit," says the Lord,

"You are strong to meet the foe

'By My Spirit here below 

'Be victorious through My Word.

'In the war with hell and sin

'By My Spirit you must win!"
