Faith Is the Victory
By: Hymnal Songs
Verse 1:D A D
Encamped along the hills of light, ye Christian soldiers, rise,

And press the battle ere the night shall veil the glowing skies.
A D A E A
Against the foe in vales below let all our strength be hurled.
D G D A D
Faith is the victory, we know, that overcomes the world.
Chorus:
D A D
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
G D A D
O, glorious victory, that overcomes the world.
Verse 2:
D A D
His banner over us is love, our sword the Word of God.
A D
We tread the road the saints above with shouts of triumph trod.
A D A E A
By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath, swept on o'er every field.
D G D A D
The faith by which they conquered death is still our shining shield.
Verse 3:
D A D
On every hand the foe we find drawn up in dread array.
A D
Let tents of ease be left behind, and onward to the fray.
A D A E A
Salvation's helmet on each head, with truth all girt about,
D G D A D
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread, and echo with our shout.
Verse 4:
D A D
To him that overcomes the foe, white raiment shall be given.

Before the angels he shall know his name confessed in heaven.
A D A E A
Then onward from the hills of light, our hearts with love aflame,
D G D A D
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night, in Jesus' conquering name.
