Sound The Battle Cry

Verse 1 ~

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.

Refrain ~

Rouse, then soldiers!
     Rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
     Onward, forward,
Shout a loud hosanna!
     Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.

Verse 2 ~

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.

Verse 3 ~

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.
