Victory is On the Lord's Side

Thomas Kelly • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Chronicles 13:12

Verse 1

Arise, ye saints, arise! The Lord our Leader is; The foe before his banner flies, And victory is his.

Verse 2

We follow thee, our Guide, Our Saviour, and our King! We follow thee, through grace supplied From heaven's eternal spring.

Verse 3

We soon shall see the day When all our toils shall cease; When we shall cast our arms away, And dwell in endless peace.

Verse 4

This hope supports us here; It makes our burdens light; 'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer, Till faith shall end in sight.

Verse 5

Till, of the prize possessed, We hear of war no more; And ever with our Leader rest, On yonder peaceful shore.
