Firmly, brethren, firmly stand,
All united heart and hand,
One unbroken, valiant band,
Dauntless, brave, and true;
Lift your standard, hoist it high,
Raise the Christian battle cry,
Christ, your glorious Leader, nigh,
Calls to victory.
Once our fathers freedom cried,
Victory or death betide,
But with Jesus on our side,
Death and victory too;
There to die, the battle won,
There to fall, the warfare done,
Glory brighter than the sun,
Then our promised due.
Glorious thus for Christ to die,
And with him to reign on high,
There with victor hosts to cry,
Christ has brought us through;
Christ, our captain’s name to boast,
Quells the dark, Satanic host,
Fall we then each at his post,
Fall as Christians do.
