Conquering Ever

Representative Text

1 Conquering ever, ever to conquer,
Forward he goes to the fray;
Urging the army of the faithful,
Bidding them never delay.
Now they’re advancing with courage,
Lifting their banner on high,
Sounding the praise of the Saviour,
Raising the glorious cry.

Refrain:
Conquering ever, ever to conquer,
Forward he goes to the fray;
Urging the army of the faithful,
Bidding them never delay.

2 Conquering ever, ever to conquer,
Gracious Redeemer and King;
Wither thou leadest we will follow,
While of the glories we sing.
We shall be faithful in doing,
All that thou dost command;
Then we shall come with rejoicing,
By thy bright throne we shall stand. [Refrain]

3 Conquering ever, ever to conquer,
Jesus is monarch of all;
Let ev’ry ally of the Satan,
With guilty heart quickly fall;
But all the army thou leadest,
True shall remain to the end;
Then in thy glories forever,
All coming ages they’ll spend. [Refrain]
