Sound the battle cry!
See, the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard
high for the Lord;
Gird your armor 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
