Conquering Now and Still to Conquer

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1890
Composer: John Sweney

Conquering now and still to con­quer

Rideth a king in His might;

Leading the host of all the faith­ful

Into the midst of the fight;

See them with cour­age ad­vanc­ing

Clad in their brill­iant ar­ray

Shouting the name of their lead­er

Hear them ex­ult­ing­ly say:

Not to the strong is the bat­tle

Not to the swift is the race

Yet to the true and the faith­ful

Victory is pro­mised through grace.

Conquering now and still to con­quer

Who is this won­der­ful king?

Whence are the ar­mies which He lead­eth

While of His glo­ry they sing?

He is our Lord and Re­deem­er

Savior and mon­arch divine;

They are the stars that for­ev­er

Bright in His king­dom shall shine.

Conquering now and still to con­quer

Jesus

Thou rul­er of all

Thrones and their scep­ters all shall per­ish

Crowns and their splen­dor shall fall

Yet shall the ar­mies Thou lead­est

Faithful and true to the last

Find in Thy man­sions eter­nal

Rest

when their war­fare is past.
