	This arrangement of an old Christian favorite has the flavor of the islands. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Most likely the title of this song was inspired by I John 5:4, which states, "for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith."

	Lyrics Encamped along the hills of light, Ye Christian soldiers, rise. And press the battle ere the night Shall veil the glowing skies. Against the foe in vales below Let all our strength be hurled. Faith is the victory, we know, That overcomes the world. Refrain Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! O glorious victory, that overcomes the world. His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God. We tread the road the saints above With shouts of triumph trod. By faith, they like a whirlwinds breath, Swept on oer every field. The faith by which they conquered death Is still our shining shield. Refrain On every hand the foe we find Drawn up in dread array. Let tents of ease be left behind, And onward to the fray. Salvations helmet on each head, With truth all girt about, The earth shall tremble neath our tread, And echo with our shout. Refrain To him that overcomes the foe, White raiment shall be givn. Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heaven. Then onward from the hill of light, Our hearts with love aflame, Well vanquish all the hosts of night, In Jesus conquering Name. Refrain
