1 The Savior all my foes o’ercame—
O magnify His peerless name!
For since His grace hath made me whole,
There’s victory in my soul.

Chorus:
I’ve victory in my soul,
Yes, victory in my soul;
I triumph each hour
By faith in His pow’r—
I’ve victory in my soul.

2 I shout aloud with holy joy;
His praises shall my tongue employ;
I yield my all to His control—
There’s victory in my soul. [Chorus]

3 And when I reach the land of bliss
Where I shall see Him as He is,
I’ll sing while countless ages roll,
There’s victory in my soul. [Chorus]
