Standing on the Battlements

Army of the liv­ing God

Lo

our king is near!

Trusting in His migh­ty arm

Falter not nor fear;

If to Him we con­se­crate

All our ran­somed pow­ers

Tho’ a host against us rise

Victory will be ours.

On the bat­tle­ments

Blessèd bat­tle­ments

Standing on the bat­tle­ments

Of im­mor­tal­ity;

O the count­less mul­ti­tudes

Soon our eyes shall see!

Standing on the bat­tle­ments

Of im­mor­tal­ity.

Since by clouds of wit­ness­es

We are com­passed round

In the path that once they trod

Let us all be found;

Holding up the cross of Christ

Praising Him in song

Preaching truth and right­eous­ness

While we march along.

Never sheath the Spir­it’s sword

Till the war is done;

Never lay our ar­mor down

Till the crown is won;

When our great­est tri­al comes

Trust the pro­mise true;

Grace will give the strength we need

Faith will bring us thro’.
