Sound the battle-cry ! See ! the foe is nigh ; Raise the standard high for the Lord ! Gird your armour on, stand firm every one, Rest your cause upon His holy Word !
Rouse then, soldiers ! rally round the banner ! Ready, steady, pass the word along ; Onward I forward ! shout aloud Hosanna ! Christ is Captain of the mighty throng !
2. 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 !
3. 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 victory won, May we wear the crown before Thy face !
