142. Victory in My Soul

1 Since I’ve started out to travel in the straight and narrow way,
Since the Savior by His life-blood made me whole,
Since He taught me how to follow, how to daily watch and pray,
I’ve had vict’ry in my soul.

Chorus:
I have vict’ry, vict’ry, vict’ry in my soul,
Glory, hallelujah! vict’ry in my soul;
Vict’ry over ev’ry sin,
Foes without and foes within,
Glory, hallelujah! I’ve vict’ry in my soul.

2 Oft I meet with fierce temptations, Satan’s darts are at me hurled,
But my Savior of my life has full control,
And I hear Him gently whisper, “I have overcome the world,”
And I’ve vict’ry in my soul. [Chorus]

3 Storm clouds often hover o’er me, but His love shines sweetly thro’,
And I shout His praises tho’ the billows roll,
For the rainbow of God’s promise spans the arch of heaven’s blue,
And I’ve vict’ry in my soul. [Chorus]

4 Glory, glory, what a Savior! I will trust Him all the way,
He will guide me till I safely reach the goal;
More than conqueror will bring me to that land of endless day,
Giving vict’ry in my soul. [Chorus]
