By the cross we conquer and have victory,
Unfurl the banner to the breeze;
Let it wave in triumph over sea and land,
Till the world our motto sees;
Let it wave by day, let it wave by night,
As a pillar of cloud and flame,
While the Lord makes bare his mighty arm,
Bringing victory to his name.
Let us all be standard-bearers for our King,
No matter what the foe may say;
Lift your eyes and see the radiant cross on high,
Giving courage for the fray;
Wherefore take the armor our Captain gives,
And his promise, still the same;
Let the '"forward go" inspire us so
We'll have victory in his name.
We will praise our God before the battle's fought,
For every victory he has given;
We will praise him till he comes again in power,
Sitting on the clouds of heaven.
By the cross we'll stand, by the cross we'll fall;
With the two-edged sword in hand
We will rout the foe, for God will go
Still before us through the land.
