33. When the Shout of Battle Dies Away

1 There’s a sound of warfare o’er the whole wide world,
Hosts of sin are gath’ring for the fray;
Time is swiftly flying! where will you be found,
When the shout of battle dies away!

Refrain:
He will come on the clouds of glory!
We shall meet on that last great day;
Shall we greet Him with joy or sorrow,
When the shout of battle dies away?

2 Long may be the conflict ere the Lord draws near,
We can never know the hour or day;
But, if faithful soldiers, we can rest secure,
When the shout of battle dies away! [Refrain]

3 There’s a sound of warfare swelling loud and strong!
Soon the din and strife shall end for aye;
May our names be written in His book of life,
When the shout of battle dies away! [Refrain]
