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.
