Sound the battle cry, see, the foe is nigh
Raise the standard high for the Lord
Gird your armor 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
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
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's 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
Sound the battle cry!
