Sound the Battle Cry

1
Sound the battle cry! See the foe is nigh!
Raise the standard high for the Lord
Gird your armor on, stand firm, ev'ryone
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
