Victory in My Soul

Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #7 First Line: The burden of my fear and sin Refrain First Line: There's victory in my soul Lyrics: 1 The burden of my fear and sin On Christ by faith I roll; And now I have His peace within And vict'ry in my soul. Chorus: There’s victory in my soul, Victory in my soul; I grasp the promises by faith, - There’s victory Vict'ry in my soul. 2 I know there is a test for me, A battle to be won; But God ensures the victory Before it is begun. [Chorus] 3 On battlefields of long ago, When saints have drawn the sword, Their strength did not o’ercome the foe, But - trusting in the Lord. [Chorus] 4 While leaning on His arm alone I cannot know defeat; The glory shall be all His own When vict'ry is complete. [Chorus] 5 E’en death itself I do not fear Since Christ hath borne its sting; His presence thro' the valley drear Will help us then to sing.
