Ye who to the winning side belong;
Soon from shore to shore and sea to sea,
Jesus Christ shall conqu’ror be.
Refrain:
Vict’ry perches now on Israel’s banners,
Lift your voices,
Sing your loud hosannas,
Victory is near, yes, victory is near;
Christ shall conq’ror be.
Night is waning, morning light is breaking,
Heathen nations from their slumber waking,
Victory is near, yes, Victory is near,
Christ shall conq’ror be.
2 In all lands the story must be told,
Then our eyes His coming must behold;
Prostrate at His feet all nations fall,
Hail and crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain]
3 Shine on, shine on, Sun of righteousness,
With thy glory-beams the land to bless;
Superstition’s night shall fade away,
At the dawn of promised day. [Refrain]
4 Honor, pow’r and glory ever be
Unto Him who gives the victory;
Jesus Christ, thy triumph now we sing,
Saviour, Lord, and coming King. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Christian warrior, sing the vict'ry song]
