Lyrics

The bur­den of my fear and sin
On Christ by faith I roll;
And now I have His peace with­in
And vic­to­ry in my soul.

Refrain

There’s vic­to­ry in my soul,
Victory in my soul;
I grasp the pro­mises by faith,
There’s vic­to­ry in my soul.

I know there is a test for me,
A bat­tle to be won;
But God en­sures the vic­to­ry
Before it is be­gun.

Refrain

On bat­tle­fields of long ago,
When saints have drawn the sword,
Their strength did not o’er­come the foe,
But trust­ing in the Lord.

Refrain

While lean­ing on His arm alone
I can­not know de­feat;
The glo­ry shall be all His own
When vic­to­ry is com­plete.

Refrain

E’en death it­self I do not fear
Since Christ hath borne its sting;
His pre­sence through the val­ley drear
Will help us then to sing.
