Christ's is the Victory

Now dwelling in the halls of light, Ye Christian leaders rise,
And press the battle here below: the Lord is on our side!
Against the foe in vales below, let all His strength be hurled;
Christ's is the victory we know, that's overcome the world!

chorus

His banner over us is love, our sword the Word of God,
We tread the road the saints who sleep, with shouts of triumph trod.
Salvation's helmet on each head, with Truth all girt about;
The One by Whom they conquered death is still our shining Shield

chorus

On every hand the foe we find, drawn up in dread array;
The tents of ease we've left behind, so onward to the fray!
Salvations helmet on each head, with truth all girt about:
The earth doth tremble 'neath our tread and echo with our shout!

chorus

To them that overcame the world, white raiment has been giv'n;
before the angels we have known our name confessed in Heav'n.
Then onward on the hills of Light, our hearts with Love aflame;
We vanquish all the hosts of night, in Jesus conquering Name!

Christ's is the victory, Christ's is the victory:
O glorious victory that's overcome the world
