We’ll Battle to the End

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1873
Composer: Howard Doane

Gird on

gird on your ar­mor

and away

Like he­roes be firm and true;

Lead on your ranks to bat­tle for the Lord

Who tri­umphed ov­er death and the grave for you.

We’ll bat­tle to the end

we’ll bat­tle to the end

And then our crown we’ll wear;

We’ll ga­ther on the shore

re­joic­ing ev­er­more

With all the no­ble ar­my there.

Our foes are strong

but great­er far is He

Whose arm is our strength and shield;

March on

march on with bold and fear­less tread;

We’ll con­quer by His grace

but we’ll nev­er yield.

No fal­ter­ing step

no faint and fear­ful heart

No truce with the hosts of sin;

Be strong in Him

our nev­er fail­ing trust;

Remember there’s a palm and a crown to win.
