See yon flag of crimson dye, Wave along the vaulted sky! See yon flag, & c. To its hem fair Truth is bound,
Blood of martyrs sprinkled round; That earth's multitudes may see, Truth will have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Wicked men in vain oppose, Babes shall sing of Sharon's Rose! Wicked men, & c. Borne on winds from pole to pole,
Like the prophet's flying roll; Ethiopia soon shall see Truth will have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Some of earth's dark corners shine, With this heav'nly light divine! Some of earth's, & c. Africa's dark sons obey,
Pagan temples own her sway;— Own with us,‘ tis God's decree, Truth shall have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Turks! who will no mercy shew, Mercy is proclaim'd for you! Turks! who will, & c. Men are ceasing to bow down,
To their gods of wood and stone; And all nations soon shall see, Truth will have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Where Truth reigns the work goes on, Christ and Truth are both but one! Where Truth, & c. Saints shall find the promise true,
Christ will soon “make all things new;” And rejoice at God's decree, Truth shall have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Pow'rs of darkness! do your best, Put your prowess to the test! Pow'rs of darkness! & c. Persecution fierce employ,
Jesu's kingdom to destroy, ‘ Tis in vain!‘ tis God's decree, Truth shall have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Jews! the Crucified adore, Objects of his wrath no more! Jews! the Crucified, & c. Own the Galilean King,
With your gentile brethren sing; Now obey,‘ tis God's decree, Truth shall have the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Hasten, Lord, the glorious day, Let all true believers say! Hasten, Lord, & c. When these frozen hearts shall flow,
Each with love and wonder glow; All with one accord agree, Truth hath gain'd the Victory! Victory! Victory!
Soon th’ Archangel's trump shall sound, Wake the dead from sleep profound! Soon the, & c. Earth shall melt, the stars shall fall,
Men on rocks and mountains call; Christ will then his saints set free:— What a glorious Victory! Victory! Victory!
