The hymn With Valiant Courage We Serve Our King is a six-verse worship song in Common Meter (8.6.8.6), rooted in Acts 5:29 and the sonnet With Courage Bold We Stand for God Against the World’s Command. It boldly urges believers to obey God’s word in the Bible over human authority when the two conflict, proclaiming Christ’s supreme reign with triumphant resolve. Through vivid imagery of divine light, enduring truth, and a holy crown, it inspires fearless defiance of unbiblical human decrees, anchored by God’s victorious grace. The stirring refrain—“With courage bold we stand for God, His truth shall never fall! Against the world’s command we rise, To crown our King o’er all!”—rallies worshipers to honor Christ alone. Its majestic tone, echoing All Praise to Christ Our King, suits services celebrating Christian fortitude, biblical fidelity, or divine sovereignty, with organ or brass amplifying its grandeur.

Verse 1
When men decree what God forbids,
Our hearts to Christ stay true.

Its light will shine anew.

His truth shall never fall!

That trusts in God’s command.

And holds us in His hand.

To crown our King o’er all!

Our refuge and our guide.

To crown our King o’er all!

For Christ, our King, shall reign supreme,
And fill the world with light.

Against the world’s command we rise,
To crown our King o’er all!
