Encamped a long the hills of light,
Yet
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.
2
On
every hand that 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,
With
truth all girt about,
The
earth shall trembled ‘neath our tread,
And
echo with our shout.
3
To
him that overcomes the foe,
White
raiment shall be giv’n;
Before
the angels he shall know
His
name confessed in heave’n.
Then
onward from the hills of light,
Our
hearts with love aflame,
We’ll
vanished all the host of night,
In
Jesus’ conquering name.
