“Faith Is the Victory” (stanza 1)
Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise.
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled.
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
John Henry Yates was born this date in Batavia, NY. Yates was a shoe salesman and later a hardware store manager. Eventually he became a Baptist minister who was influenced by Ira D. Sankey. Yates also penned “The Harbor Bell” “The Model Church” and “The Old Book Stands.”
