Text: | Forth to the fight, ye ransom'd |
Author: | W. H. Kirby |
Tune: | ST. MIHIEL |
Composer: | H. J. Storer |
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]
