|
|
<p>Encamped along the hills of light,<br>
|
|
Ye Christian soldiers, rise.<br>
|
|
And press the battle ere the night<br>
|
|
Shall veil the glowing skies.<br>
|
|
Against the foe in vales below<br>
|
|
Let all our strength be hurled.<br>
|
|
Faith is the victory, we know,<br>
|
|
That overcomes the world.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!<br>
|
|
O glorious victory, that overcomes the world.</p>
|
|
<p>His banner over us is love,<br>
|
|
Our sword the Word of God.<br>
|
|
We tread the road the saints above<br>
|
|
With shouts of triumph trod.<br>
|
|
By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath,<br>
|
|
Swept on o’er every field.<br>
|
|
The faith by which they conquered death<br>
|
|
Is still our shining shield.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>On every hand the foe we find<br>
|
|
Drawn up in dread array.<br>
|
|
Let tents of ease be left behind,<br>
|
|
And onward to the fray.<br>
|
|
Salvation’s helmet on each head,<br>
|
|
With truth all girt about,<br>
|
|
The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread,<br>
|
|
And echo with our shout.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>To him that overcomes the foe,<br>
|
|
White raiment shall be giv’n.<br>
|
|
Before the angels he shall know<br>
|
|
His name confessed in heaven.<br>
|
|
Then onward from the hill of light,<br>
|
|
Our hearts with love aflame,<br>
|
|
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night,<br>
|
|
In Jesus’ conquering Name.</p>
|
|
