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.
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 on o'er every field ; The faith by which they conquered Death Is still our shining shield.
3. 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 !
4. 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 !
