’Tis near the break of day,
Who are fight­ing for the right.
Go up with Christ your head,
To tread in the steps
Fight with sin brave­ly, fight and be strong;
His ene­mies pur­sue;

Prevent the morn­ing ray,
Of the cross, arise;
Christian sol­diers, be not fear­ful;
Christian sol­diers, be not fear­ful;
Onward, on­ward take the shield and sword;
Will ye flee in dan­ger’s hour?
With hel­met, and breast­plate, and shield;
Ye sol­diers of the King of kings,

your cap­tain

He will lead the way.
True to Him where’er He needs you,
Follow your cap­tain, and be led
Now, sealed by the Spir­it
Fight then, good sol­diers, fight and be brave;
Be strong, and brave, and true.
Be strong, and brave, and true.
Your cap­tain leads the way:
To the ve­ry skies;
Ever look­ing un­to Je­sus
Ever look­ing un­to Je­sus
Pressing on­ward, trust­ing in His word.
Let your droop­ing hearts be glad:
Determined you nev­er will yield!
Oh, heed the mes­sage that He brings,
