The Old Story in Song ‎#124

124. Song of Victory

1 Christ is our Captain, Sin our foe—
Onward, then, ye soldiers brave.
List to his orders! Forward go!
Many dying souls to save.
Fight till the conflict shall be won,
Never lay your armor down.
Victory! Victory!
Shout, shout the sound.

Refrain:
Vict’ry shall be ours,
Let the song of triumph ring,
Vict’ry shall be ours,
While we battle for our King;
Vict’ry shall be ours,
Glad the message now we bring;
Victory! Victory!
For our Saviour, King.

2 Under the banner of the cross,
Bravely to the conflict go;
Fear not the dangers, count no loss,
Fighting such a mighty foe.
Loud tho’ the battle’s din and roar,
Louder rings the victor’s song—
Victory! Victory!
Sing loud and long. [Refrain]

3 What tho’ the day be dark and drear—
Even tho’ the conflict’s long;
Christ is the Captain, comrade, cheer,
Mighty is his arm and strong.
Soon for the faithful he will call,
They shall all rewarded be –
Victory! Victory!
Shout victory. [Refrain]
