W. F. Sherwin (371/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

W. F. Sherwin SOUND the battle-cry, See! the foe is nigh; Raise the standard high For the Lord. Rouse then, soldiers! Rally round the banner! Ready, steady, Pass the word along; Onward! forward! Shout aloud Hosanna! Christ is Captain Of the mighty throng. 2 Strong to meet the foe, Marching on we go, While our cause we know Must prevail; Shield and banner bright Gleaming in the light, Battling for the right, We ne’er can fail. 3 O Thou God of all, Hear us when we call; Help us, one and all, By Thy grace; When the battle’s done, And the victory won, May we wear the crown Before Thy face.
