[Verse 1]
D A
Encamped along the hills of light
A7 D
Ye Christian slodiers rise,
A
And press the battle ere the night
A7 D
Shall veil the glowing skies.
A D
Against the foe in vales below
A E7 A
Let all our strenght be hurled;
D Gsus4 G
Faith is the victory, we know,
D A7 D
That over-comes the world.
[Refrain]
A7
Faith is the victory!
G D
Faith is the vic-tory!
G D D7 G
O, glorious vic-to-ry,
Gm D A7 D
That over-comes the world.
[Verse 2]
D A
On every hand the foe we find
A7 D
Drawn up in dread array;
A
Let tents of ease be left behind,
A7 D
And onward to the fray;
A D
Salvation's helmet on each head,
A E7 A
With truth all grit about,
D Gsus4 G
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,
D A7 D
And echo with our shout.
[Refrain]
A7
Faith is the victory!
G D
Faith is the vic-tory!
G D D7 G
O, glorious vic-to-ry,
Gm D A7 D
That over-comes the world.
[Verse 3]
D A
To him that over-comes the foe,
A7 D
White raiment shall be giv'n;
A
Before the angels he shall know
A7 D
His name confessed in heav'n.
A D
Then onward from the hills of light,
A E7 A
Our hearts with love aflame,
D Gsus4 G
We'll vanquish all the host of night,
D A7 D
In Jesus' con-quering name.
[Refrain]
A7
Faith is the victory!
G D
Faith is the vic-tory!
G D D7 G
O, glorious vic-to-ry,
Gm D A7 D
That over-comes the world.
