Text: | Overcome evil with good |
Author: | K. Shaw |
Tune: | [Like David with Saul, who had sought for his life] |
Composer: | Knowles Shaw |
1 Like David with Saul, who had sought for his life,
Let us overcome evil with good;
Would we conquer our foes 'mid the din and the strife,
We must overcome evil with good.
Chorus:
Overcome evil with good, brother;
Overcome evil with good;
'Tis human to err; divine to forgive;
Then overcome evil with good.
2 When our hearts are oppressed by a wrong that was done,
Let us overcome evil with good;
If we're injured, insulted, oh! quickly we'll run,
And overcome evil with good. [Chorus]
3 If deserted by friends or surrounded by foes,
Let us overcome evil with good;
And trust for our strength in the Savior who knows
How to overcome evil with good. [Chorus]
