March to the battlefield,
march on with sword and shield;
March on; the foe shall yield
to Christ our King.
Onward, ye faithful band,
onward at His command;
Onward, nor halting stand,
but loudly sing.
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
we sing by the way;
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
and faith gains the day.
Stand firm against thy foes;
stand, though a host oppose;
Stand! well our Leader knows
our conflicts all.
“Fear not,” He says to thee,
“Fear not, but valiant be,
Fear not, but trust in Me;
the foe must fall.”
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
we sing by the way;
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
and faith gains the day.
Fight, though thy foes increase;
fight, till the dawn of peace;
Fight, till the war shall cease,
then shout and sing.
Shout, then triumphantly, shout,
shout the victory;
Shout, “Glory be to Thee,
O Lord, our King!”
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
we sing by the way;
This is the victory,
this is the victory,
This is the victory,
and faith gains the day.
