Voimasta ja kunniasta ("Of Strength and Honor") is the second full-length album by the Finnish folk metal band Moonsorrow. It was released on 26 November 2001 through Spinefarm Records.

Five of the six tracks have been performed live through the years with “Hiidenpelto” being the sole exception. “Sankarihauta”, “Kylän päässä” and “Aurinko ja Kuu” were first performed in late 2001, while “Sankaritarina” debuted no later than 2004 (though incomplete until 2011), being performed mostly as an encore. “Tyven” has been frequently played from tape since 2007, preceding “Sankarihauta”.
