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.

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 victory won
May we wear the crown
Before Thy face.
