Faith Is The Victory

 

"I have told you these things, so that in Me
you may have perfect peace and confidence.
In the world you have tribulation and trials
and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer!
For I have overcome the world. I have deprived
it of it's power to harm you and have
conquered it for you."
John 16:33

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 over comes 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.

Faith is the victory!

Faith is the victory!

Oh, glorious victory,

That overcomes the world.

To him that overcomes the foe,

White raiment shall be given;

Before the angels he shall know

His name confessed in heaven.

Then onward from the hills of light,

Our hearts with love a-flame,

We'll vanquish all the hosts of night

In Jesus' conquering name.

Faith is the victory!

Faith is the victory!

Oh, glorious victory,

That overcomes the world.
