Victory is on the Lord's Side. (765) Arise, ye saints, arise! The Lord our Leader is: The foe before his banner flies, And victory is his. 2 We soon shall see the day When all our toils shall cease; When we shall cast our arms away, And dwell in endless peace. 3 This hope supports us here; It makes our burdens light: 'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer, Till faith shall end in sight: -- 4 Till, of the prize possessed, We hear of war no more; And ever with our Leader rest, On yonder peaceful shore. Thomas Kelly, 1803.
