- Encamped along the hills of light
Ye Christian soldiers, rise
And press the battl ere the night
Shall viel the glowing skies;
Against the foe in vales below
Let 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.
Refrain - 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 in dread array;
Let tents of ease be left behinf,
And— onward to the fray;
Salvation's helment on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shal tremble 'neath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
Refrain - To him that over-comes the foe,
White raiment shall be given;
Before the angles he shall know
His name conffessed 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.
Refrain
Amen.
