Today’s hymn focus will be
Victory Ahead
1 Corinthians 15:57(NLT)
“But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The son of a confectionary, William Grum was born in Camden, NJ in 1878. He grew up to become a letter carrier until he retired in 1920 to begin full time ministry as the pastor of Kaighn Ave. Methodist Episcopal Church in Camden, NJ and also at First Methodist Episcopal Church in Gloucester City, NJ. He was also a talented musician, singer and writer of gospel hymns and songs and is best known for this hymn that was published in 1905.
Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead.
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqueror’s tread.
By faith I see the victory ahead.
We need to wake up and hold on to the promise of victory in each and every situation in our lives. The verses of this hymn declare several stories of those who put their trust in the Lord to bring about the victory in their lives. If God did it for them, He will do the same for you and me.

When the hosts of Israel, led by God,
Round the walls of Jericho softly trod,
Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu’ror’s tread,
By faith they saw the victory ahead.

Met the giant on the field all alone,

By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Refrain]

Often with the carnal mind I was tried,
Asking for deliverance oft I cried,
Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I was dead,
By faith I saw the victory ahead. [Refrain]

When like those who’ve gone before to that land,
By death’s river cold and dark I shall stand;

By faith I see the victory ahead. [Refrain]

Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I see the victory ahead. [Refrain]
