D | A7 | |
Encamped along the | hills of light, |
D | |
Ye Christian soldiers, | rise. |
A7 | |
And press the battle | ere the night |
D | |
Shall veil the glowing | skies. |
A7 | D | |
Against the foe in | vales below |
A | E7 | A | |
Let | all our | strength be | hurled. |
D | G | |
Faith | is the victo | ry, we know, |
D | A7 | D | |
That | overcom | es the | world. |
Chorus: |
D | A7 | |
Faith is the | victory! |
D | |
Faith is the | victory! |
G | D | |
O glorious | victory, |
A7 | D | |
That over | comes 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 o'er every field. |
The faith by which they conquered death |
Is still our shining shield. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
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 hill of light, |
Our hearts with love aflame, |
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night, |
In Jesus' conqu'ring Name. |
Chorus |
