The King of Glory ‎#93

93. The Cause of Righteousness

1 The pow’rs of sin and darkness are still engaged in war,
Against the pure and holy, they’re fighting as of yore,
But lift the joyful chorus, O shout it evermore,
The cause of righteousness shall triumph ever.

Refrain:
On, on for God and for right,
On, on for Jesus we will fight,
On, on in heaven’s shining light,
The cause of righteousness shall triumph ever.

2 We often think that evil has gained the victory,
And righteousness is vanquished beneath the tyrrany;
But raise a shout of triumph it shall not always be;
The cause of righteousness shall triumph ever. [Refrain]

3 The night will soon be over the dawn is drawing nigh,
When Christ the King of Glory appears in yonder sky;
With vict’ry on our banners we’ll meet Him by and by;
The cause of righteousness shall triumph ever. [Refrain]
