Victory By and By

Verse 1

Blessed host of the Lord, with your banners march along, Tune your hearts and your tongues, let the gospel be your song; Though your work may be great, from its duties never fly. God will give to you the vict’ry by and by.

Chorus

Sound the trump, sound the trump of the gospel far and near, Sound it forth, sound it forth, bid the sleeping nations hear; Sound it forth undismayed, though the tempter’s arrows fly, God will give to you the vict’ry by and by.

Verse 2

Blessed host of the Lord, look away to yonder star Shining down on your path from the Eden land afar; Lift your souls, lift your eyes, for the day is drawing nigh; Thanks to God, the vict’ry’s coming by and by.

Verse 3

Blessed host of the Lord, on His promised word depend, Lo, His arm for your aid shall in mighty power descend; And the ranks of the foe shall before your banners fly, God will give to you the vict’ry by and by.
