Hymn 139 SOUND THE BATTLE CRY Lyrics

1. Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high For the Lord;
Gird your armor on, Sand firm, ev’ry one;
Rest your cause up-on 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

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,

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’s won,
May we wear the crown Before The face
