A E E7 A
1. En-camped a-long the hills of light, Ye Christian sol-diers, rise,
2. His ban-ner o-ver us is love, Our sword the Word of God;
3. To him who o-ver-comes the foe White rai-ment shall be giv'n
A E E7 A
1. And press the bat-tle ere the night Shall veil the glow-ing skies.
2. We tread the road the saints a-bove With shouts of tri-umph trod.
3. Be-fore the an-gels he shall know His name con-fessed in heav'n
A E D A E A B E
1. A-gainst the foe in vales be-low, Let all our strength be hurled;
2. By faith they, like a whilr -wind's breath, Swept on o'er ev -'ry field;
3. Then on -ward from the hills of light, Our hearts with love a -flame;
E7 A Cm Bm A E A
1. Faith is the vic -to -ry, we know, That o-ver-comes the world.
2. The faith by which they con -quered death Is still our shin-ing shield.
3. We'll van-quish all the hosts of night, In Je-sus' con-q'ring name.
Chorus

Faith is the vic-to-ry! Faith is the vic-to-ry!

O glo-ri-ous vic-to-ry That o-ver-comes the world.

Tune: Norwegian Melody
Category: Faith and Trust
G C G Em/G D C E A G D G
1 My faith has found a rest -ing place- Not in de -vice nor creed;
2 E-nough for me that Je -sus saves- This ends my fear and doubt;
3 My great Phy-si -cian heals the sick, The lost He came to save;
4 My heart is lean -ing on the word- The writ-ten Word of God:
G C G Em/G D C E A G D G
1 I trust the ev -er liv -ing One- His wounds for me shall plead.
2 A sin -ful soul I come to Him, He'll nev -er cast me out.
3 For me His pre -cious blood He shed, For me His life He gave.
4 Sal-va-tion by my Sav -ior's name- Sal-va -tion through His blood.
Chorus
G D G C Am G->D
I need no oth-er ar-gu-ment, I need no oth-er plea;
G C G Em/G D C E A G D G
It is e-nough that Je-sus died, and that He died for me.
