My Captain Never Lost a Battle

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Jubilate #154 (1917) First Line: Rouse ye! O ye freemen! For a foe is in your nation Lyrics: 1 Rouse ye! O ye freemen! For a foe is in your nation, Sparing not your men and maidens on its downward way; Rally to the standard of the Captain of Salvation, Who never lost a battle; He calls for you today. Refrain: My Captain never lost a battle, Anywhere, anywhere; His army He is ever leading On to certain victory; All the host of the world defying, With the cross-barred banner flying, Join the mighty army, crying Victory! Victory! 2 Hear ye! Through the darkness comes the sob of children weeping, Robbed of health and hope and life, their heritage of love; Waken from your slumber, ‘tis no time for sinful sleeping, A Voice to you is calling! The Voice of God above. [Refrain] 3 Forward! God is with us, we are on His pow’r relying, We shall gain the victory, our cause we know is just; Forward! Never falter! All the host of sin defying, Our God ne’er lost a battle, in him we put our trust. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Rouse ye! O ye freemen]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "My Captain Never Lost a Battle" in Gospel Gems Number 1 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
