They That Overcome

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1905
Composer: Howard Doane

Overcoming ev­il day by day

This our war­fare on the Christ­ian way;

Yet un­to those that faith­ful en­dure

God has de­clared that His pro­mise is sure.

They that ov­er­come

thus sa­ith He

They that ov­er­come

bless­èd shall be;

They that ov­er­come the world and sin

Life and a crown in His kingd­om shall win.

Tho’ we suf­fer tri­bu­la­tion here

Tho’ our crosses oft may seem sev­ere

Think of the joy when tri­als are past

Strong in the Lord we shall con­quer at last.

Overcoming

O my soul

arise

Overcoming

thou must reach the skies;

Still jour­ney on

and still ov­er­come

Rest by and by with the Sav­ior at home.
