1.Sound the battle cry, See! the foe is nigh;Raise the standard high For the Lord;Gird your armor on, Stand firm, ev'ry one,Rest your cause upon His holy word.Chorus:Rouse, then soldiers! rally round the banner!Ready, steady, pass the word along;Onward, forward, shout a loud Hosanna!Christ is Captain of the faithful throng.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. [Chorus]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 vict'ry won,May we wear the crown Before thy face. [Chorus]
