The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

Original tune: All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name; Oliver Holden, 1765-1844.
Matthew 16:18f, Matthew 13:23, Ephesians 6:11-19

The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Lord’s kingdom
Go forth and spread the saving news that all who hear may come.
Go forth and spread the saving news that all who hear may come.

The weapons of this war put on with love and constant prayer
For man is not our enemy but forces everywhere.
For man is not our enemy but forces everywhere.

Put on the armor full, hold fast, and march into the fields
Fear not your King has conquered there and bring his fruit and yields.
Fear not your King has conquered there and bring his fruit and yields.

The kingdom keys belong to you, take courage and proclaim
Resist your pride and guard Christ’s Church to show his worth and fame.
Resist your pride and guard Christ’s Church to show his worth and fame.
