Author: Rachel Rivers Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9305 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Strike our tents, the night is over! Lyrics: 1 Strike our tents, the night is over!
See, the shadows one by one
Fade before the coming splendor
Of the morning’s golden sun.
Refrain:
Strike our tents! the trumpet sounding
Bids us now our march begin;
Strike our tents! the battle rages!
There’s a victory we must win.
2 Strike our tents! no time to linger
When the foe is on our track;
Holy voices now are calling,
Follow Jesus; look not back. [Refrain]
3 Strike our tents, nor heed the arrows
By the wary tempter hurled;
Trust in Him, our great Deliverer,
He who overcame the world. [Refrain]
4 Ne’er desert our post of duty
Till the strife of war is done;
Then in realms of endless glory
Shout thro’ Christ the victory won. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: RIO DE JANEIRO
