|  | | 1. Soldiers of King Jesus,
raise the shout again,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Marching to the music of the glad refrain,
Victory in Jesus evermore.
Refrain.
Victory, victory, victory in Jesus!
Sing His overcoming blood,
sing the grace that frees us;
Ring it out more boldly,
song of faith and cheer,
Till the whole wide world shall hear.
2. O’er the pow’rs of darkness,
o’er the hosts of sin,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Trusting, watching, praying,
we shall surely win,
Victory in Jesus evermore.
Refrain.
Victory, victory, victory in Jesus!
Sing His overcoming blood,
sing the grace that frees us;
Ring it out more boldly,
song of faith and cheer,
Till the whole wide world shall hear.
3. Send the happy watchword
all along the line,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Let all error perish, lives the truth divine,
Victory in Jesus evermore.
Refrain.
Victory, victory, victory in Jesus!
Sing His overcoming blood,
sing the grace that frees us;
Ring it out more boldly,
song of faith and cheer,
Till the whole wide world shall hear.
4. For His church and kingdom,
for each trusting soul,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
From the courts of Heaven
joyful paeans roll,
Victory in Jesus evermore.
Refrain.
Victory, victory, victory in Jesus!
Sing His overcoming blood,
sing the grace that frees us;
Ring it out more boldly,
song of faith and cheer,
Till the whole wide world shall hear.
