Victory Ahead

[Verse 1] When the hosts of Israel, led by God, Round the walls of Jericho softly trod; Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu'ror's tread, By faith they saw the victory ahead. [Chorus] Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead, Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq'ror's tread, By faith I see the victory ahead. [Verse 2] David, with a shepherd's sling and five stones, Met the giant on the field all alone; Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said, By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Chorus] Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead, Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq'ror's tread, By faith I see the victory ahead. [Verse 3] Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day, Then unto the lion's den led the way; Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread, By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Chorus] Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead, Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq'ror's tread, By faith I see the victory ahead. [Verse 4] Often with the carnal mind I was tried, Asking for deliverance oft I cried; Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I was dead, By faith I saw the victory ahead. [Chorus] Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead, Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq'ror's tread, By faith I see the victory ahead. [Verse 5] When like those who've gone before to that land, By death's river cold and dark I shall stand; Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread, By faith I see the victory ahead. [Chorus] Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Thro' the blood of Jesus, victory ahead, Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq'ror's tread, By faith I see the victory ahead.
