Conquering now and still to conquer

lyricist: Fanny Jane Crosby
Composer: John Robson 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

Vict’ry 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 will 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 kingdom eternal

Rest

when their warfare is past.
