Lo ! the day of God is breaking ; See the gleaming from afar ! Sons of earth from slumber waking Hail the Bright and Morning Star.
Hear the call ! Oh, gird your armour on, Grasp the Spirit's mighty Sword ; Take the Helmet of Salvation, Pressing on to battle for the Lord !
2. Trust in Him who is your Captain ; Let no heart in terror quail ; Jesus leads the gathering legions, In His name we shall prevail.
3. Onward marching, firm and steady, Faint not, fear not Satan's frown ; For the Lord is with you alway, Till you wear the victor's crown.
4. Conquering hosts with banners waving, Sweeping on o'er hill and plain, Ne'er shall halt till swells the anthem " Christ o'er all the world doth reign ! "
