212. Victory

1 With the Lord on our side,
And His strong arm to guide,
We will fail Him never,
Serve Him ever
Brave and true.
He is near to command;
For His cause we will stand,
With our colors streaming,
Bright sword gleaming,
Dare and do.

Refrain:
The blessed Lord is on our side,
His strength unfailing,
All prevailing,
We shall see!
The blessed Lord is on our side,
His might and pow’r will bring each hour
The victory.

2 By His hand we are led;
In His steps we will tread,
On His grace relying,
Living, dying,
Christ our shield.
Close the ranks haste away,
With a song fill the day,
To the conflict pressing,
Such a blessing,
Never yield. [Refrain]

3 With the Lord on our side,
In His love we abide;
Never backward glancing,
Still advancing,
Face the foe!
With a firm, steady face,
Ev’ry one in his place,
Lift the cross most glorious,
Strong, victorious,
Onward go. [Refrain]
