Author: W. Bennett Hymnal: Gems of Song #277 (1901) First Line: On to the conflict, soldiers for the right Refrain First Line: Ever this war-cry, Victory, victory Lyrics: 1 On to the conflict, soldiers for the right,
Arm you with the Spirit’s sword, and march to the fight;
Truth be your watchword, sound the ringing cry,
Victory, victory, victory!
Chorus:
Ever this the war-cry,
Victory, victory;
Ever this the war-cry,
Victory;
Write it on your banners,
Waft it on the breeze,
Victory, victory, victory!
2 Fiercely it rages, deadly is the strife,
But the prize that you shall win will be endless life;
Jesus will crown you, your reward shall be
Victory, victory, victory! [Chorus]
3 Valiant and cheerful, marching right along,
Every foe shall quit the field, tho’ haughty and strong;
Fear shall oppress them, truth shall make them flee;
Victory, victory, victory! [Chorus]
4 Soon shall the warfare and the conflict cease,
Soon shall dawn the welcome day of resting and peace;
Foes all subdued, we’ll raise to heaven the cry,
Victory, victory, victory! [Chorus]
