FAITH IS THE VICTORY

Words: John H. Yates
Music: Ira D. Sankey

Intro: (G)-(D/F#)-(D/A)-(A)-(D)

Verse One:
En(D)camped along the (A)hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, (D)rise,
And press the battle (A)'ere the night
Shall veil the glowing (D)skies.
A(D/A)gainst the (A)foe in (A7)vales be(D)low
Let (A)all our (E)strength be (A)hurled;
Faith (D)is the victo(G)ry, we know,
That (D/A)over(A7)comes the (D)world.

Chorus:
(D)Faith is the (A7)victory, faith is the (D)victory,
(G)Oh, glorious (D)victo(G)ry that (D/A)over(A7)comes the (D)world!
(D)Faith is the (A7)victory, faith is the (D)victory,
(G)Oh, glorious (D)victo(G)ry that (D)-(A)over(A7)comes the (D)world!

Verse Two:
His (D)banner over (A)us is Love,
Our sword the Word of (D)God;
We tread the road the (A)saints Above
With shouts of triumph (D)trod.
By (D/A)faith they, (A)like a (A7)whirlwind's (D)breath,
Swept (A)on o'er (E)every (A)field;
The (D)faith by which they (G)conquered death
Is (D/A)still our (A7)shining (D)shield.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Three:
To (D)him that over(A)comes the foe,
White raiment shall be (D)given;
Before the angels (A)he shall know
His name confessed in (D)Heaven.
Then (D/A)onward (A)from the (A7)hills of (D)light,
Our (A)hearts with (E)love a(A)flame,
We'll (D)vanquish all the (G)hosts of night,
In (D/A)Jesus' (A7)conquering (D)name.

[Repeat Chorus]

(G)Oh, glorious (D)victo(G)ry that (D/A)over(A7)comes the (D)world!
