I'm On the Winning Side

Charles W. Naylor (1921) • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:47

Verse 1

Along the way of life are many foes That daily war against my soul; But constant victory My Savior gives to me As I press on to the goal.

Chorus

On the winning side, I’m on the winning side, I’m on the winning side with Jesus; Though hot may be the fray, My soul can boldly say, I’m on the winning side with Jesus.

Verse 2

The battle may be long and hard to win, And Satan’s hosts may press me sore; But though I may be tried, I’m on the winning side, I shall triumph evermore.

Verse 3

A multitude of warriors of the cross In serried ranks do bravely fight; They never shall retreat, Nor ever know defeat, They are winning for the right.

Verse 4

With courage in my soul I’ll do my part, For Jesus I will loyal stand; So on the winning side Triumphant I abide With the faithful, holy band.
