Hymn 306 VICTORY AHEAD Lyrics

1. When the hosts of Israel led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqueror’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 conqu ‘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 1 shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I saw the victory ahead.
