| 1. They who know the Savior
shall in Him be strong,
Mighty in the conflict of the right
’gainst wrong.
This the blessèd promise
given in God’s Word,
Doing wondrous exploits,
they who know the Lord.
Refrain.
Victory! victory! blessèd,
blood-bought victory!
Victory! victory! vict’ry all the time!
As Jehovah liveth,
strength divine He giveth
Unto those who know Him—
vict’ry all the time!
2. In the midst of battle
be thou not dismayed,
Tho’ the pow’rs of darkness
’gainst thee are arrayed.
God, thy Strength, is with thee,
causing thee to stand,
Heaven’s allied armies
wait at thy command.
Refrain.
Victory! victory! blessèd,
blood-bought victory!
Victory! victory! vict’ry all the time!
As Jehovah liveth,
strength divine He giveth
Unto those who know Him—
vict’ry all the time!
3. Brave to bear life’s testing,
strong the foe to meet,
Walking like a hero
midst the furnace heat,
Doing wondrous exploits
with the Spirit’s Sword,
Winning souls for Jesus, praise,
O praise the Lord!
Refrain.
Victory! victory! blessèd,
blood-bought victory!
Victory! victory! vict’ry all the time!
As Jehovah liveth,
strength divine He giveth
Unto those who know Him—
vict’ry all the time!
