| 1. | Conquering now and still to conquer, |
| | Rideth a King in His might, |
| | Leading the host of all the faithful |
| | Into the midst of the fight; |
| | See them with courage advancing, |
| | Clad in their brilliant array, |
| | Shouting the name of their Leader, |
| | Hear them exultingly say: |
| | "Not to the strong is the battle, |
| | Not to the swift is the race; |
| | Yet to the true and the faithful |
| | Vict'ry is promised through grace." |
| 2. | Conquering now and still to conquer, |
| | Who is this wonderful King? |
| | Whence are the armies which He |
| | leadeth |
| | While of His glory they sing? |
| | He is our Lord and Redeemer, |
| | Savior and Monarch divine; |
| | They are the stars that forever |
| | Bright in His kingdom will shine. |
| 3. | Conquering now and still to conquer, |
| | Jesus, Thou Ruler of all, |
| | Thrones and their scepters all shall |
| | perish, |
| | Crowns and their splendor shall fall, |
| | Yet shall the armies Thou leadest |
| | Faithful and true to the last, |
| | Find in Thy kingdom eternal |
| | Rest, when their warfare is past. |
