Representative Text

1 Have you met sin’s mighty host in stern array?
Have you grown faint-hearted in the fearful fray?
Do the pow’rs of evil seem to gain the day?
Faith will win the vict’ry ev’ry time.

Refrain:
Faith will stand amid the wreck of time,
Faith unto eternal glories climb;
Only count the premise true
And the Lord will stand by you;
Faith will win the vict’ry ev’ry time.

2 All the ills that vex you Jesus’ blood can cure;
Be thou brave and hopeful, steadfast to endure;
For Jehovah’s promise standeth firm and sure.
Faith will win the vict’ry ev’ry time. [Refrain]

3 Ne’er give o’er the struggle; valiant be and true;
God is strong to conquer, and your foes subdue;
And the fi’ry furnace He will walk with you.
Faith will win the vict’ry ev’ry time. [Refrain]

4 O there’s naught but blessing Father waits to give,
And there’s naught but blessing we can e’er receive
If we fully trust Him and His word believe.
Faith will win the vict’ry ev’ry time. [Refrain]
