1 Sound the battle cry! See! the foe is nigh!
Raise the standard high For the Lord:
Gird your armor on,Stand firm ev'ry one;
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
Refrain:
Rouse, then, soldiers! Rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, Pass the word along;
Onward, forward, Shout aloud, hosanna!
Christ is Captain Of the mighty throng!
2 Strong to meet the foe, Marching on we go,
While our cause we know, Must prevail;
Shield and banner bright, Gleaming in the light,
Battling for the right We ne'er can fail. [Refrain]
3 O Thou God of all, Hear us when we call,
Help us one and all By Thy grace;
When the battle's done, And the vict'ry won,
May we wear the crown Before Thy face. [Refrain]
