Faith Is The Victory |
|
Encamped along the hills of light, |
Ye Christian soldiers, rise, |
And press the battle ere the night |
Shall veil the glowing skies. |
Against the foe in vales below |
Let all our strength be hurled; |
Faith is the victory, we know, |
That overcomes the world. |
|
Faith is the victory! |
Faith is the victory! |
Oh, glorious victory, |
That overcomes the world. |
|
His banner over us is love, |
Our sword the Word of God; |
We tread the road the saints above |
With shouts of triumph trod. |
By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath, |
Swept on o’er every field; |
The faith by which they conquered death |
Is still our shining shield. |
|
On every hand the foe we find |
Drawn up in dread array; |
Let tents of ease be left behind, |
And onward to the fray. |
Salvation’s helmet on each head, |
With truth all girt about, |
The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread, |
And echo with our shout. |
|
To him that overcomes the foe, |
White raiment shall be giv’n; |
Before the angels he shall know |
His name confessed in heav’n. |
Then onward from the hills of light, |
Our hearts with love aflame, |
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night, |
In Jesus’ conqu’ring name. |
