SOUND THE BATTLE CRY

G
Sound the battle cry!
C        G
See, the foe is nigh;
D                       A7      D
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
G
Gird your armor on,
C          G
Stand firm everyone;
          Em             D7   G
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.

CHORUS:
G                      D7              G
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
B      Em      A               D
Ready, steady, pass the word a-long;
                 D7              G
Onward, forward, shout a loud ho-sanna!
          Em             D7     G
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.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

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.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
