Winning Its Way

Primary Scripture: John 1:5

Verse 1

O let us rejoice in the work of the Lord, The service of Jesus brings blessed reward; The shadows shall flee from love’s conquering day, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Chorus

Winning its way, winning its way, Glorious dawn of a better day; Winning its way, winning its way, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Verse 2

The mountains are kindling, and soon the bright glow Will carry the joy to the valleys below; The King presseth onward, his wheels will not stay, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Chorus

Winning its way, winning its way, Glorious dawn of a better day; Winning its way, winning its way, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Verse 3

The darkness may linger, the night may seem long, But Christ shall be Victor, right triumph o’er wrong; We’ll tell the glad story, his bidding obey, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Chorus

Winning its way, winning its way, Glorious dawn of a better day; Winning its way, winning its way, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Verse 4

The moon as the glittering sunlight will shine, The sun sevenfold in His glory divine; The sky’s growing radiant with hope’s blushing ray, The light of the gospel is winning its way.

Chorus

Winning its way, winning its way, Glorious dawn of a better day; Winning its way, winning its way, The light of the gospel is winning its way.
