Sound the battle cry!
See, the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high For the Lord;
Gird your armor on,
Stand firm, ev'ry one;
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
Refrain:
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally 'round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud "Hosanna!"
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
Strong to meet the foe,
Marching on we go,
While our cause, we know, Must prevail;
Shield and banner bright,
Gleaming in the light;
Battling for the right We ne'er can fail.
O Thou God of all,
Hear us when we call,
Help us one and all By Thy grace;
When the battle's done,
And the vict'ry's won,
May we wear the crown Before Thy face.
