”I have o¤ver¤come the world,”
Hear the words of Je¤sus.
Dai¤ly walk¤ing in the truth
From all bond¤age frees us.

Chorus:
I will walk in the truth;
Naught from Christ can sev¤er.
Loved with love as strong as death,
I am His for¤ev¤er.

Trust¤ing in the Sav¤iour’s blood,
Dark¤est clouds are riv¤en,
All my sins are washed a¤way,
All the past for¤giv¤en.

Love di¤vine will bear me through
Days of trib¤u¤la¤tion,
Sing¤ing songs of joy and praise
For His great sal¤va¤tion.

Grow¤ing in His truth and grace,
Sweet the gos¤pel sto¤ry;
Those who love Him to the end,
They shall share His glo¤ry.

Yield o¤be¤dience to His Will,
Do not faint or wea¤ry,
In His fa¤vour there is life,
Days are bright and cheer¤y.
