Representative Text

1 With our banner waving in the light,
We are nobly fighting for the right,
And our eyes with happiness are bright,
For we’re on the winning side.

Refrain:
We are on the winning side!
We are on the winning side!
Let us give to Christ the glory,
Praise his name in song and story;
We are on the winning side!

2 Joyful sounds are speeding thro’ the air,
Sounds of triumph ringing everywhere,
While the hosts of evil all despair;
We are on the winning side! [Refrain]

3 With our faces turned toward the foe,
Helping all the world our King to know,
Spreading cheer around us on we go;
We are on the winning side! [Refrain]

4 To the end our Leader we’ll obey,
Closely follow him whate’er the way;
Soon for us will dawn the crowning day;
We are on the winning side! [Refrain]
