1
A life of overcoming, a life of ceaseless praise,
Be this thy blessed portion, throughout the coming days.
The victory was purchased on Calv’ry’s cross for thee,
Sin shall not have dominion, the Son hath made thee free.
2
And wouldst thou know the secret of constant victory?
Let in the Overcomer, and He will conquer thee!
Thy broken spirit, taken in sweet captivity,
Shall glory in His triumph and share His victory.
3
Then from thy life ascending, one triumph note of praise,
(For they who always conquer, are ever learning ways
Of deeper consecration, of trust and fervent prayer,
Of watchful, holy living, and burdens shared with care.)
4
Oh, let thy life be ringing with songs of glad release,
A witness to the power that brings thee perfect peace;
And when the shadows lengthen, and doubts begin to rise,
Look up! the Overcomer is waiting with His eyes
5
Of love and tender pity to lift thee to His side,
And grant thee in His presence, a rest that shall abide.
So go forth in His power, and be of good cheer,
A life of overcoming, is waiting for thee here.
