Sound the Battle Cry! See! The Foe Is Nigh
"A good soldier of Jesus Christ." - 2 Tim 2:3
VERSE 1
Sound the battle cry! see! the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
Gird your armour on, Stand firm ev'ry one;
Rest your cause upon His holy word.
CHORUS
Rouse, then, soldier! rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud 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.
CHORUS
Rouse, then, soldier! rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
VERSE 3
Oh! 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
Rouse, then, soldier! rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
