Additional Hymn · Hymn 897
Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh
“A good soldier of Jesus Christ”. 2Tim. 2:3
1.
Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh
Raise the standard high for the Lord
Gird your armour on, stand firm ev’ryone
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
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 n’er can fail
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 vict’ry won
May we wear the crown before Thy face
Amen
