Overcoming evil day by day,
This our warfare
on the Christian way;
Yet unto those that faithful endure,
God has declared that
His promise is sure.
They that overcome,
thus saith He,
They that overcome,
blessèd shall be;
They that overcome
the world and sin,
Life and a crown in
His kingdom shall win.
Tho’ we suffer tribulation here,
Tho’ our crosses
oft may seem severe,
Think of the joy when trials are past,
Strong in the Lord
we shall conquer at last.
They that overcome,
thus saith He,
They that overcome,
blessèd shall be;
They that overcome
the world and sin,
Life and a crown in
His kingdom shall win.
Overcoming, O my soul, arise,
Overcoming, thou must
reach the skies;
Still journey on, and still overcome,
Rest by and by
with the Savior at home.
They that overcome,
thus saith He,
They that overcome,
blessèd shall be;
They that overcome
the world and sin,
Life and a crown in
His kingdom shall win.
