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 before

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 hills of light

Our hearts with love aflame

We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night

In Jesus’ conqu’ring name.
