SOUND THE BATTLE CRY
1. Sound the battle cry! See! The foe
is nigh;
Raise the standard high for the
Lord;
Gird your amour 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 aloud,
Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty
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!
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!
