Christ Our Leader

For Christ our Prince and Sav­ior

For truth and ho­li­ness

We wage a con­stant war­fare

And on­ward bold­ly press;

We brave the stern­est con­flict

By con­scious strength in­spired

Our hearts by fear un­shak­en

Our souls by cour­age fired.

The war we wage is blood­less

We fight not to de­stroy.

The mot­to on our ban­ner

Is Pardon

Peace

and Joy;

We strive to free the cap­tive

Now held by sin a slave

To cheer the faint and hope­less

And make the trem­bling brave.

But Christ hath all the hon­or

’Tis He that makes us strong

The tro­phies of each con­quest

To Him alone be­long;

And His shall be the tri­umph

The glo­ry and re­nown

And His the praise ex­ult­ing

And His the vic­tor’s crown.
