Hear the Call

Lo! the day of God is break­ing;

See the gleam­ing from afar!

Sons of earth from slum­ber wak­ing

Hail the bright and morn­ing star.

Hear the call! O gird your ar­mor on

Grasp the Spir­it’s migh­ty sword:

Take the hel­met of sal­va­tion

Pressing on to bat­tle for the Lord!

Trust in Him who is your cap­tain;

Let no heart in ter­ror quail;

Jesus leads the ga­th’ring le­gions

In His name we shall pre­vail.

Onward march­ing

firm and stea­dy

Faint not

fear not Sa­tan’s frown

For the Lord is with you al­ways

Till you wear the vic­tor’s crown.

Conquering hosts with ban­ners wav­ing

Sweeping on o’er hill and plain

Ne’er shall halt till swells the an­them

Christ o’er all the world doth reign!
