Refrain: Shouting, singing, loud our voices ring, “Vict’ry, vict’ry, thro’ the mighty King!” Shouting, singing, swell the glad refrain, We’ll win all the world for Jesus. 2 Day by day we follow, with the cross in sight, Waving high above us, crowned with glory light; God is ever with us, we must not delay, Win the world for Jesus while we may. [Refrain] 3 Girded for the battle, wield the Spirit’s sword; We must never fail Him, fighting for the Lord; In His glorious army bravely take a stand, Ready for the fight at His command.
