Tune: | [Comes a call from the God of truth and right] |
Composer: | J. S. Fearis |
1 Comes a call from the God of truth and right
Bidding all his hosts afield
Armed with buckler, sword and shield;
See, his banner is unfurled;
God would conquer all the world:
Answer him, “I am ready for the fight.”
Chorus:
Music ringing, heroes singing,
Onward to the war,
Jesus is our Captain and he Marches on before.
Music ringing, heroes singing,
Courage rises high;
In the name of God advance, and victory is nigh.
2 God on high bares his arm of holy might;
Never fear to meet the foe,
Dread not all the pow’rs below;
Angels join our battle-cry,
Fighting for us from on high;
Follow on, follow Jesus in the right. [Chorus]
3 Comes a cry, ‘tis the shout of victory:
Sin is conquered by his grace;
Fall the foes we boldly face;
Darkness fades before the light;
Error falls before the light;
Praise the Lord for the dawn of liberty. [Chorus]
