.     D        D#/A        A     A7               D
 En - camped along the hills of light, ye Christian soldiers rise
.   D        D/A     A     A7              D
 And press the battle ere the night shall veil the glowing skies
.  D/A       A     A7/D   D      A/E   E7         A
 A - gainst the foe in vales be - low, let all our strength be hurled
.    D                   D/A           A7        D
 Faith is the victo - ry we know that o - ver - comes the world

[C1]
.  D     A7              G/D               D
   Faith is the victory! Faith is the victo - ry
.  G              D              D/A         A7        D
   Oh glorious vic - to - ry that o - ver - comes the world

[V2]
. D          D/A    A     A7              D
 His banner o - ver us is love, our sword the Word of God
. D          D/A     A         A7             D
 We tread the road the saints a - bove with shouts of triumph trod
.  D/A       A     A7/D        D      A/E   E7       A
 By faith they, like a whirl-wind's breath swept on o'er ev - ery field
. D              G              D/A       A7           D
 The faith by which they con - quered death is still our shin - ing shield

[V3]
. D          D/A     A     A7         D
 On ev - ery hand the foe we find drawn up in dread ar - ray
.  D         D/A     A     A7            D
 Let tents of ease be left be - hind and on - ward to the fray
. D/A         A     A7/D     D      A/E   E7         A
 Sal - va - tion's hel - met on each head, with truth all girt a - bout
. D             G            D/A      A7         D
 The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread and ech - o with our shout

[V4]
. D            D/A       A     A7              D
 To him that o - ver - comes the foe white rai - ment shall be giv'n
.  D           D/A     A      A7               D
 Be - fore the an - gels he shall know his name con - fessed in heav'n
. D/A           A     A7/D    D      A/E   E7        A
 Then on - ward from the hills of light, our hearts with love a - flame
. D               G               D/A       A7           D
 We'll van - quish all the ghosts of night in Je - sus' con - quering name</lyrics>
