1 Soldiers of King Jesus, raise the shout again,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Marching to the music of the glad refrain,
Victory in Jesus evermore.

Refrain:
Victory, victory, victory in Jesus!
Sing His overcoming blood, sing the grace that frees us;
Ring it out more boldly,
Song of faith and cheer,
Till the whole wide world shall hear.

2 O'er the pow'rs of darkness, o'er the hosts of sin,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Trusting, watching, praying, we shall surely win,
Victory in Jesus evermore. [Refrain]

3 Send the happy watchword all along the line,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
Let all error perish, lives the truth divine
victory in Jesus evermore. [Refrain]

4 for his church and kingdom, for each trusting soul,
Victory in Jesus, victory!
From the courts of heaven joyful pæans roll,
Victory in Jesus evermore. [Refrain]

Coronation Hymns, 1910
