Faith Is the Victory

Verse 1

Verse 1

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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 thruth all girt about,

The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,

And echo with our shout.

Refrain

Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world.

Verse 3

To him who 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' conq'ring name.

Refrain

Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world.
