The Singing Of Faith Is The Victory -- Hymn

Faith Is The Victory is written by John H. Yates, 1837-1900 and the music is by Ira D. Sankey, 1840-1908.

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.
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
Oh, 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.
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory, that overcomes the world.

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.
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory, that overcomes the world.

To him that overcomes the foe white raiment shall be given
Before the angels he shall know his name confessed in heaven.
Then onward from the hills of light, our hearts with love aflame
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night in Jesus' conquering name.
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory, that overcomes the world.
