Lyrics

Can you now, my brother, say,
Victory, vic­to­ry?
Christ who bore your sins away,
On the cross of Cal­va­ry,
Purchased for you on that day,
Victory, vic­to­ry!

Refrain

Shout aloud! Victory!
Take new courage every day,
Trust in Je­sus all the way,
Victory, vic­to­ry!

Do you feel the tempter near?
Victory, vic­to­ry!
Christ has won the vic­to­ry;
He has set His people free;
Stand now in His liberty—
Victory, vic­to­ry!

Refrain

You shall know this very hour
Victory, vic­to­ry!
For when Christ has sway within,
You are victor o’er all sin,
And the fight you’re sure to win—
Victory, vic­to­ry!

Refrain

Will you sing it all the way?
Victory, vic­to­ry?
Then the tempter will take flight,
Then your pathway will be bright,
Then you’ll bring to others light—
Victory, vic­to­ry!
