Someone said in an e-mail:

quote:
"I just watched "The Return of the King" (Lord of the Rings, part 3). An important theme of the movie could be summed up by the words of the hymn, "Conquering now, and still to conquer, rideth the King in his might. See them with courage advancing, clad in their briliant array, shouting the name of their leader, hear them exultingly say, 'Not to the strong is the battle, not to the swift is the race, but to the true and the faithful, victory is promised through grace.'" I can't remember any of the other stanzas, or whether this is the first stanza or a later one. Does anyone know what the title of this hymn is, and in which hymnal I might find it? I thought it was in one of the hymnals, but can't find it in the last two, which I have."


Another person helped him with this answer:

Interesting site, POW. Brings back some memories. This tune is familiar so we probably used it in our chuch in the "old days."

I found it in an old C&MA hymnal with the same 3 stanzas and refrain, under the title, "Victory through Grace."

The hymnal is Hymns of the Christian Life, Christian Publications, Inc. (1962).
