"And Abraham called the name of the
place Jehovah Jireh" - Gen.22:14



1.  IT is not meet for Saints to fear 

     Nor for them to despair

     For when they least expect His help

     The Saviour will appear.

Chorus: Tie your girdle, be battle ready

             Tie your girdle, be battle ready

             Tie your girdle oh 

             Tie your girdle oh 

             Tie your girdle, be battle ready.


2.  When Abraham took up his knile 

     God's voice said to him ‘stop‘

     The yonder ram caught by the horn 

     Shall Substitute thy son.

Chorus: Tie your girdle...


3.  When Jonah sank beneath the ways 

     No hope of escape near

     God sent a fish that swallowed him 

     And brought him to the shore.

Chorus: Tie your girdle...


4.  With such great might and love as this 

     Abounding in His word

     I pray to bring my anxious cares

     And leave them all to Him.

Chorus: Tie your girdle...


5.  Lift up your eyes and wait His help 

     It may belong but wait

     Though the promise may tarry long 

     It soon shall come to pass.

Chorus: Tie your girdle, be battle ready

             Tie your girdle, be battle ready

             Tie your girdle oh 

             Tie your girdle oh 

             Tie your girdle, be battle ready.  Amen
