Faith is the Victory!

 

Faith is the Victory!

Christians arise! Arm yourself with the Word of God. It is our shield and protector. God’s truth abounds and our faith increases. In every battle that was orchestrated in God’s word became a victory when the soldiers’ eyes were on the Lord. Our battles are won by God when our faith stands tall and shouts the words of God. Turn to Him and we’ll vanquish all the hosts of night, in Jesus’ conquering name.

Lyrics by John H. Yates, arranged by Ira D. Sankey

“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.

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 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 beneath our tread, and echo with our shout.

To him that overcomes the foe, white raiment shall be given; Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heaven. Then onward from the hills of light, our hearts with love-aflame; We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night, in Jesus’ conquering name.

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