Representative Text

1 Tho’ foes assail us on the field,
We will not to their power yield;
Thro’ God’s own grace to us revealed,
We’re on the vict’ry side.

Refrain:
I am on the vict’ry side,
Through the grace of Him who died;
I am on the vict’ry side,
For Jesus keep me there!

2 When testings come without, within,
Then, more than conqu’rors over sin,
We shall thro’ Christ, the battle win,
And find the vict’ry side. [Refrain]

3 Yes, more than conqu’rors we shall be,
The promise stands for you, for me;
From sin’s sad bondage to be free,
Oh, find the vict’ry side. [Refrain]

Showing early musical promise, William Marion Runyan (b. Marion, NY, 1870; d. Pittsburg, KS, 1957) was a substitute church organist by the age of twelve. He became a Methodist minister in 1891 and served several churches in Kansas but turned to evangelism in 1903; he worked for the Central Methodist Conference for the next twenty years. Following that service, Runyan became pastor at the Federated Church at John Brown University, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas. Editor of Christian Workers Magazine, he also served the Moody Bible Institute and was an editor for Hope Publishing Company until his retirement in 1948. Runyan wrote a number of hymn texts, gospel songs, and hymn tunes. Bert Polman Go to person page >
