Faith is the Victory Lyrics & Chords

By John H. Yates & Ira D. Sankey

Verse 1
(D)Encamped along the (A)hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise,
And press the battle (A)ere the night
Shall veil the glowing (D)skies.
(A)Against the foe in (D)vales below
Let (A)all our E)strength be hurled;
Faith (D)is the (G)victory, we know,
That (D)over(A)comes the world. 

Chorus
(D)Faith is the (A)victory!
Faith is the (D)victory!
(G)Oh, glorious (D)victory,
That over(A)comes the (D)world.

Verse 2
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. 

Verse 3
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. 

Verse 4
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 hills of light,
Our hearts with love aflame,
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus’ conqu’ring name.
