57 - Our faith is the victory

1.

Encamped along the hills of light, ye Christian soldiers, rise

And battle on, before 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.

Refrain: 

Our faith is the victory! Our faith is the victory!

Oh, glorious victory 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 over every field;

The faith by which they conquered death, is still our shining shield.

3.

To him who 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.
