Don’t give up, don’t be discouraged
Fix your eyes on heaven’s throne
Join the anthem never ending
To our God and to the Lamb
For the joy beyond the suffering
He endured the cross the shame
Hallelujah, what a Saviour
Jesus, name above all names
Jesus, name above all names

Though the world lies deep in shadow
Nations tremble, nature mourns
He began a new creation
When he rose up from the tomb
And he dares us to imagine
A world of wrongs at last put right
Curse of sin forever ended
Swallowed up in glory bright
Swallowed up in glory bright

Called to share our Master’s suffering
Daily follow, bear our cross
Fix our hope on future glory
Earthly gain to count as loss
Wake O church from careless slumber
Not ashamed his name to own
Look above, he reigns victorious
Suffering Love has won the crown
Suffering Love has won the crown

Don’t give up we are surrounded
By a bright and shining crowd
Those who ran the race before us
Cheer us on to win the crown
Oh, what joy will flood Creation
No more tears no death no pain
Till that morning, endless morning
To live is Christ, to die is gain
To live is Christ, to die is gain

He never, no never will leave or forsake us
Don’t give up, don’t give up
He promised, yes promised to be with
us always
Don’t give up, don’t give up
