Our Rally Song

Author: Harry Crosscup Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5458 First Line: Soldiers for Jesus, press on today Refrain First Line: O how sweet it is to rally Lyrics: 1. Soldiers for Jesus, press on today, Fear not sin’s terrors, cease not to pray; Keep bright the armor, hold fast the shield, Never to Satan one victory yield. Refrain O how sweet it is to rally Round the standard sheet of love. ’Neath the cloudless sky of Heaven, Where the Savior stands above! In the presence of the Father And His holy angels bright Heaven’s smile is on its soldiers As they battle for the right. 2. You who are planting seeds on the field, Plant deep the word-seed, it God will shield From birds of evil who hover o’er Fields where you scatter seeds from your store. [Refrain] 3. Reapers for Jesus, go forth today; See, grains are nodding—go now, we pray; Sharpen the sickle, bring from the fields Sheaves which the Master in harvest yields. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Soldiers for Jesus, press on today]
