The Old Story in Song ‎#118

118. Winning Its Way

1 O let us rejoice in the work of the Lord,
The service of Jesus brings blessed reward;
The shadows shall flee from love’s conquering day,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Refrain:
Winning its way, winning its way,
Glorious dawn of a better day;
Winning its way, winning its way,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.

2 The mountains are kindling, and soon the bright glow
Will carry the joy to the valleys below;
The King presseth onward, his wheels will not stay,
The light of the gospel is winning its way. [Refrain]

3 The darkness may linger, the night may seem long,
But Christ shall be Victor, right triumph o’er wrong;
We’ll tell the glad story, his bidding obey,
The light of the gospel is winning its way. [Refrain]

4 The moon as the glittering sunlight will shine,
The sun sevenfold in His glory divine;
The sky’s growing radiant with hope’s blushing ray,
The light of the gospel is winning its way. [Refrain]
