And pleads once more to yield;

Have you not fully yet resolved,

To shun this battle-field?

Why risk the victory you have gained?

Your resolution lost

This once might prove your ruin here,

And life eternal cost.

Try once again, while there is hope

To conquer and to live;

God will, if you will let him, help,

And all the past forgive.

He’ll help to get the victory;

And victory must be gained,

Or no resolve to break the hold,

Will ever be maintained.

Not victory for a single day,

A week, a month, a year;

But victory that will stand the test

While we continue here.

A victory that will overcome
