O Christians, Leagued Together

lyricist: Lillian Cassaday, 1893, and Margaret Seebach, 1915
Composer: George Haas, 1893

O Christ­ians

leagued to­ge­ther to bat­tle for the right

Arise and don your ar­mor

put the foe to flight!

We’ve giv­en our al­le­giance to serve with­out sur­cease

The migh­ty Lord of ar­mies and gen­tle Prince of Peace.

All hail

our glo­ri­ous Sav­ior!

We march where Thou hast trod

To seek Thy house of tri­umph

The ci­ty of our God.

Then on­ward be the war cry; and on­ward still

so long

As we have self to con­quer

souls to cheer with song.

Let sound the mar­tial music

ring out the bu­gle call

To rally for the con­flict our peo­ple one and all.

We proud­ly bear as ban­ner a cross with­in the heart

To show that we have chos­en Christ

the bet­ter part.

Then joy and peace and com­fort shall blos­som as a rose

Until our earth­ly bless­ings the worth of Heav’n dis­close.
