14490. On The Victory Side

1 Our souls cry out, hallelujah!
And our faith enraptured sings,
While we throw to the breeze the standard
Of the mighty King of kings.

Refrain:
On the victory side, on the victory side,
In the ranks of the Lord are we;
On the victory side we will boldly stand,
Till the glory land we see.

2 Our souls cry out, hallelujah!
For the Lord Himself comes near,
And the shout of a royal army
On the battlefield we hear. [Refrain]

3 Our souls cry out, hallelujah!
For the tempter flies apace,
And the chains he has forged are breaking,
Thro’ the power of redeeming grace. [Refrain]

4 Our souls cry out, hallelujah!
And our hearts beat high with praise,
Unto Him, in whose name we’ll conquer,
And our song of triumph raise. [Refrain]
