Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Since I've started out to travel in the straight and narrow way Refrain First Line: I have vict'ry, vict'ry, vict'ry in my soul Lyrics: 1 Since I’ve started out to travel in the straight and narrow way, Since the Savior by His life-blood made me whole, Since He taught me how to follow, how to daily watch and pray, I’ve had vict’ry in my soul. Chorus: I have vict’ry, vict’ry, vict’ry in my soul, Glory, hallelujah! vict’ry in my soul; Vict’ry over ev’ry sin, Foes without and foes within, Glory, hallelujah! I’ve vict’ry in my soul. 2 Oft I meet with fierce temptations, Satan’s darts are at me hurled, But my Savior of my life has full control, And I hear Him gently whisper, “I have overcome the world,” And I’ve vict’ry in my soul. [Chorus] 3 Storm clouds often hover o’er me, but His love shines sweetly thro’, And I shout His praises tho’ the billows roll, For the rainbow of God’s promise spans the arch of heaven’s blue, And I’ve vict’ry in my soul. [Chorus] 4 Glory, glory, what a Savior! I will trust Him all the way, He will guide me till I safely reach the goal; More than conqueror will bring me to that land of endless day, Giving vict’ry in my soul.
