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!

O 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 hill of light

Our hearts with love aflame

We’ll van­quish all the hosts of night

In Je­sus’ con­qu’ring name.
