Faith Is the Victory

 

1

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.

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 ev'ry field;

The faith by which they conquered Death

Is still our shining shield.

3

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,

The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,

And echo with our shout.

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' conq'ring name. 

CHORUS

Faith is the victory!

Faith is the victory!

O glorious victory,

That overcomes the world.

1 John 5:4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ephesians 6

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Revelation 3:5

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
