TRUTH TRIUMPHANT!

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!
