Hymnal: Voices of Praise #325 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Forth to the fight, ye ransom'd,
Mighty in God's own might,
Stemming the tide of battle,
Routing the hosts of night,
Refrain:
Lift ye the Blood-red Banner,
Wield ye the victor's sword,
Raise ye the Christian's war cry--
"The Cross of Christ the Lord."
2 Fear not the din of battle,
Follow where He has trod
Perfecting strength in weakness--
JESUS, INCARNATE GOD, [Refrain]
3 Angels around us hover,
Succour in time of need,
Ever at hand to strengthen,
Guardians they indeed. [Refrain]
4 Arm ye against the battle,
Watch ye, and fast, and pray,
Peace shall succeed the warfare,
Night shall be changed to day. [Refrain]
5 Fight, for the Lord is o'er you,
Fight, for He bids you fight;
There where the fray is thickest
Close with the hosts of night. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: FESTIVAL
