Author: W. H. Kirby Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #599 (1920) First Line: Forth to the fight, ye ransom'd 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 Christian's banner,
Wield ye the Christian'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] Topics: General Processionals Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MIHIEL
