Hymn 334
Sound the battle cry! See! the foe is nigh
- 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.
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.
- 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.
