1 When the foe is pressing near,—
Surrender not!
Christ will help you, never fear,—
Surrender not!
Never yield unto the wrong,
Weary not,—the fight prolong,
Cheer the fainting with a song,—
Surrender not!

Refrain:
Surrender not! surrender not!
Hold the place that you have nobly won,—
Surrender not!
Surrender not! surrender not!
Hold it in the name of Christ the Son,—
Surrender not!

2 By the trust imposed in you,—
Surrender not!
Ever loyal be, and true,—
Surrender not!
By the debt that Jesus paid,
By the vows that you have made,
by the crown that shall not fade,—
Surrender not! [Refrain]

3 Cling to Jesus thro’ the strife,—
Surrender not!
Cling to him thro’ all your life,—
Surrender not!
Keep the promise that you gave,
Keep in place among the brave,
Trust the Lord to keep and save,—
Surrender not! [Refrain]
