The Service of Praise ‎#60

60. Hear Ye the Battle Cry

1 See the foe advancing now, ready for the fray,
Trust in God and struggle on, right will win the day;
Heaven’s hosts are gathered round, they our aid will be,
God will lead his chosen ones to victory.

Refrain:
Hear ye the battle cry,
Hear ye the battle cry,
Fall into line!
Onward, forward! on to meet the foe,
All thought of fear resign;
Hear ye the battle cry,
Hear ye the battle cry,
Fall into line!
Onward, forward!
Christ is aiding with his pow’r divine.

2 Volunteers are wanted still, for the foe is strong,
Trust in God and persevere, right will conquer wrong;
Thro’ the battle’s strife and din this our cry shall be,
God will lead his chosen ones to victory. [Refrain]

3 Sing the song of victory, God is with his won,
And the power of sin and woe will be overthrown;
When the victor’s palms we bear, this our song shall be,
God hath led his chosen ones to victory. [Refrain]
