To Jesus Our Captain

To Je­sus our cap­tain

To Je­sus our king

To Je­sus in glo­ry

Our prais­es we bring;

Our cap­tain has co­nquered

Come see in His train

The foes He has cap­tured

The sins He has slain.

We too are His sol­diers

We arm for the fight

And wide waves our ban­ner

Our ar­mor is bright;

We’ve breast­plate and helmet

And broad­sword and shield

Our sins are the foe­men

Our lives are the field.

Our king sits tri­umph­ant

And close at His feet

Are thou­sands of child­ren

From al­ley and street;

From pal­ace and cot­tage

From mount­ain and plain

From earth passed to Heav­en

They stand in His train.

The King in His glo­ry

They see and adore

The King in His beau­ty

His great­ness and pow­er;

The King in His mercy

Compassion and love

We see

and press for­ward

To meet Him above.

Then let us ad­ore Him

And bow at His feet

And give Him the glo­ry

And praise that is meet;

Let joy­ful ho­san­nas

Unceasing arise

To swell the full chor­us

That glad­dens the skies.
