The Conqueror’s Tread

Oh

glo­ry to God!

Hallelujah to Je­sus!

I’m liv­ing in Ca­naan

The blood sanc­ti­fies.

I’m shout­ing the vic­to­ry

While still press­ing for­ward

And on­ward

and up­ward

As time swift­ly flies

Temptations are ma­ny

And tri­als are plen­ty

But Je­sus is with me

I’m nev­er alone;

The Com­fort­er fills me

My soul feels the glo­ry

I’m thrilled and en­rap­tured

And jour­ney­ing home.

I’ve peace like a riv­er

Beyond un­der­stand­ing

My soul is o’er­flow­ing

By day and by night;

I nev­er be­fore could

Believe for such vic­to­ry

While press­ing the bat­tle

Down here in the fight.

The wa­ters are wild

And the sea rough and stor­my

The rocks oft­en threat­en

My soul

tem­pest tossed;

The Spir­it of Je­sus

Is out on the wa­ters

He still­eth their fu­ry

Till safe­ly I’ve crossed.

Let all praise the Lord

For His good­ness and mer­cy

He’s more to me now

Than the loved ones of yore;

Surprising me dai­ly

With fresh gifts from Heav­en

His king­ly pro­vi­sion

Is mine more and more.

The en­emy roars

And at­tempts to de­stroy me

His plans new­ly laid

Are await­ing each day.

A pil­grim

a strang­er

I face His re­vil­ings

Rejoice in the fur­nace

And shout on my way.

I sing and I shout

And en­dea­vor to tell it

Rejoice when I think

What He’s done for my soul;

I’m glad I can wit­ness

Oh glo­ry to Je­sus!

But no­thing ex­press­es

The rap­tures that roll.

The right­eous may smite me

I deem it a kind­ness

Rebukes I can bear

They will not break my head;

I’ve put on the ar­mor

And Christ fights my bat­tles

While I in my soul

Feel the Con­quer­or’s tread.
