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.
Refrain
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory, that
overcomes 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.
Refrain
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
beneath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
Refrain
To him that overcomes
the foe,
White raiment shall be
given.
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' conquering
Name.
Refrain
