A life of overcoming

- 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.
- And would‟st 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.
- Then from thy life ascending
- one triumph note of praise,
- (for they who always conquer
- a victor‟s song must raise,)
- shall echo on unceasing
- till Satan‟s host doth flee
- before our glorious watchword,
- “Lord, victory for me.”
- Though all the path before thee
- the host of darkness fill,
- look to thy Father‟s promise,
- and claim the victory still.
- Faith sees the heavenly legions,
- where doubt sees nought but foes,
- and through the very conflict
- her life the stronger grows.
- More stern will grow the conflict
- as nears our King‟s return,
- and they alone can face it
- who this great lesson learn:
- that from them God asks nothing
- but to unlatch the door
- admitting Him, who through them
- will conquer evermore. ......
