1 When the hosts of Israel, led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu’ror’s tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.

Chorus:
Victory ahead! Victory ahead!
Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead;
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu’ror’s tread,
By faith I see the victory ahead!

2 David with a shepherd’s sling and five stones,
Met the giant on the field all alone,
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,
By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Chorus]

3 Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day,
Then unto the lion’s den led the way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,
By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Chorus]

4 Often with the carnal mind I was tried,
Asking for deliverance oft I cried,
Trusting in the Lord, I reckon'd I was dead,
By faith I saw the victory ahead. [Chorus]

5 When like those who’ve gone before to that land,
By death’s river cold and dark I shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I see the victory ahead. [Chorus]
