87 Children of the daytime

vorige pagina
1. Children of the daytime,
children of the light
you are not of darkness,
you are not of night,
`Peace there is and safety'
other men will say,
you must not believe them,
you must watch and pray.

2. For as a thief comes softly,
when no-one is prepared,
suddenly destruction
when not a man is spared.
In the Lord be strengthened,
in the power of his might,
praying in the Spirit
and watching through the night.

3. The shield we hold before us,
our faith we will confess,
we stand arrayed in armour,
of truth and righteousness,
the gospel of the Kingdom,
with which our feet are shod,
the helmet of salvation
and the Word of God.
