Hymns

Sound the Battle Cry!

words: William F. Sherwin

music: William F. Sherwin

Background music: Joyful Noise Music

Sound the battle cry!

See the foe is nigh!

Raise the standard high

For the Lord:

Gird your armor on,

Stand firm everyone;

Rest your cause upon

His Holy Word.

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.

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 victory one,

May we wear the crown

Before Thy face.

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!
