The fight is on,
the trumpet sound is ringing out,
The cry “To arms!”
is heard afar and near;
The Lord of hosts
is marching on to victory,
The fight is on, O Christian soldier,
And face to face in stern array,
With armor gleaming,
and colors streaming,
The right and wrong engage today!
The fight is on, but be not weary;
Be strong, and in His might hold fast;
If God be for us, His banner o’er us,
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last!
The fight is on, arouse,
ye soldiers brave and true!
Jehovah leads,
and victory will assure;
Go buckle on the armor
God has given you,
And in His strength
unto the end endure.
The fight is on, O Christian soldier,
And face to face in stern array,
With armor gleaming,
and colors streaming,
The right and wrong engage today!
The fight is on, but be not weary;
Be strong, and in His might hold fast;
If God be for us, His banner o’er us,
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last!
The Lord is leading
on to certain victory;
The bow of promise
spans the eastern sky;
His glorious Name
in every land shall honored be;
The morn will break,
the dawn of peace is nigh.
The fight is on, O Christian soldier,
And face to face in stern array,
With armor gleaming,
and colors streaming,
The right and wrong engage today!
The fight is on, but be not weary;
Be strong, and in His might hold fast;
If God be for us, His banner o’er us,
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last!
