1 Sound the battle cry! see - the foe is nigh!
Raise the standard high for the Lord:
Gird your armor on, stand firm, ev'ryone;
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
