Representative Text

1 They who know the Savior shall in Him be strong,
Mighty in the conflict of the right ’gainst wrong;
This the blessed promise given in God’s Word,
Doing wondrous exploits, they who know the Lord.

Refrain:
Victory! victory! Blessed, blood-bought victory!
Victory! victory! Vict’ry all the time!
As Jehovah liveth, strength divine He giveth
Unto those who know Him—vict’ry all the time!

2 In the midst of battle be thou not dismayed,
Though the pow’rs of darkness ’gainst thee are arrayed;
God, thy Strength, is with thee, causing thee to stand,
Heaven’s allied armies wait at thy command. [Refrain]

3 Brave to bear life’s testing, strong the foe to meet,
Walking like a hero midst the furnace heat,
Doing wondrous exploits with the Spirit’s sword,
Winning souls for Jesus, praise, oh, praise the Lord! [Refrain]

Author: Mrs. C. H. Morris

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
