Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#330

330. Rise, O Church Of Jesus

1 Rise, O church of Jesus,
Tho' the foe may rage,
Buckle on thy armor,
Claim thy heritage.
To all heaven's glory
And its treasures fair
Shall His church triumphant
Be with Him the heir.

Chorus:
Lo, the Lord is calling:
Conquer ye the world.
March then on united
With the flag unfurl'd.

2 Pause not for the riches
Moth and rust destroy;
Thou shalt find thy treasure
In the Lord's employ.
Young and old together,
One united band,
Pledge yourselves to Jesus,
Take with Him your stand. [Chorus]

3 Quickly day is passing,
Come without delay!
We must win the battle
While it yet is day.
It is but a moment
Till the fight is o'er
And the crown of glory
Ours forevermore. [Chorus]
