Hymn 356 - 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 hurl’d;

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 ev’ry field;

On ev’ry 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,

REFRAIN

Faith is the victory, we know,

That overcomes the world.

Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!

Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world.
