Truth Triumphant

lyricist: Julia Howe, 1861
Composer: John Steffe

My soul has seen a vi­sion

Of the con­quest of the world

When Sa­tan and his forc­es

From their bat­tle­ments are hurled

And o’er the land the Bi­ble

Like a sig­nal flag un­furled

Speaks loy­al­ty to Christ.

We shall see the truth so glo­ri­ous

Over all the earth vic­tor­ious

For the stan­dard lift­ed ov­er us

Is loy­al­ty to Christ.

No more shall strife and hat­red

Bring dis­hon­or to our God

For right­eous­ness

whose work is peace

Shall spread her wings abroad;

And they who win the con­quest

Are the bear­ers of the Word

In loy­al­ty to Christ.

The des­ert place shall blos­som

And the wil­der­ness re­joice;

The lame shall leap

the blind shall see

The dumb lift up their voice;

The floods shall clap their hands

the earth

Shall make a joy­ful noise

In loy­al­ty to Christ.
