To: Faith
Joining all gathered here in prayer to our Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

"Faith Is the Victory"

Faith is the Victory
by John H. Yates, 1891

Encamped along the hills of light
Ye Christian soldiers, rise
And press the battle are the night
Shall veil the glowing skies
Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled
Faith is the victory, we know
That over comes the world

Chorus:
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory
That overcomes the world

His banner over us is love
Our sword the Word of God
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod
By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath
Swept on o'er ev'ry field
The faith by which they conquered Death
Is still our shining shield

Chorus
To him that overcomes the foe
White raiment shall be given
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in heaven
Then onward from the hills of light
Our hearts with love aflame
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night
In Jesus' conquering name

Chorus:x2
