VICTORY AHEAD
1. When the hosts of Israel, led by
God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly
trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the
conqu’ror’s tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.
Chorus:
Victory ahead! Victory ahead!
Thro’ the blood of Jesus, victory
ahead,
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the
conq’ror’s tread,
By faith I see the victory ahead.
2. David, with a shepherd’s sling and
five stones,
Met the giant on the field all alone;
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what
God had said,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
3. Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice
each day,
Then unto the lion’s den led the
way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear
or dread,
By faith he saw the victory ahead.
4. Often with the carnal mind I was
tried,
Asking for deliverance oft I cried;
Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I
was dead,
By faith I saw the victory ahead.
5. When like those who’ve gone
before to that land,
By death’s river cold and dark I
shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear
or dread,
By faith I see the victory ahead.
