295. Sound The Battle Cry

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.

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.

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.

O Thou God of all Hear us while 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.
