77. The Cross Shall Be Triumphant

1 Be faithful, Christian soldiers,
And forward bravely go
The Cross shall be triumphant,
And vanquish ev’ry foe.

Refrain:
The Cross shall be triumphant,
And Christ supreme will reign;
All glory, praise and honor
To Him who once was slain.

2 The brightness of salvation
Shall banish sin’s dark night,
As Jesus on all nations
Sheds everlasting light. [Refrain]

3 March on beneath the banner
That tells of Calvary,
Each follower of Jesus
Victorious shall be. [Refrain]
