The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6924

6924. Truth Triumphant

1. My soul has seen a vision of the conquest of the world,
When Satan and his forces from their battlements are hurled,
And o’er the land the Bible, like a signal flag unfurled,
Speaks loyalty to Christ.

Refrain
We shall see the truth so glorious
Over all the earth victorious,
For the standard lifted over us
Is loyalty to Christ.

2. No more shall strife and hatred bring dishonor to our God,
For righteousness, whose work is peace, shall spread her wings abroad;
And they who win the conquest are the bearers of the Word,
In loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]

3. The desert place shall blossom, and the wilderness rejoice;
The lame shall leap, the blind shall see, the dumb lift up their voice;
The floods shall clap their hands, the earth shall make a joyful noise,
In loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]
