A hymn for Thursday

Jesus Giveth Us the Victory
…thanks be to God… 1 Cor. 15:57

There’s a battle raging in the heavenly places
Sin and death and sickness with Satan leading on
With the hosts of earth and hell arrayed against us
How in all our weakness shall the fight be won?

Jesus giveth us the victory
He who overcame at Calvary
Overcomes again in you and me
Hallelujah! Jesus gives the victory!

Faith can hear our Captain calling from the heavens
“Courage, brother, I have overcome for you
Fear not, I am with you, I will never fail you
Trusting in My promise you shall conquer too.”

We are led by One who never lost a battle
And our adversary is a conquered foe
We are more than conquerors through our Captain’s triumph
Let us shout the victory as we onward go

Let us take the victory over Satan’s kingdom
Over sickness, sorrow, self and sin
Let us bear the banner o’er the lands of darkness
Till the foe’s last stronghold we for Christ shall win
