G
Sound the battle cry!
C        G
See, the foe is nigh;
D                       A7      D
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
G

Gird your armor on,
C           G
Stand firm, every one;

Rest your cause upon His holy Word.

Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
E      C       D
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
G                D              G
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna!

Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.

Strong to meet the foe,

Marching on we go,

While our cause we know, must prevail;
G
Shield and banner bright,
C        G
Gleaming in the light;
G        C                G     D   G
Battling for the right we ne’er can fail.

Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.


Verse 3:
G
O! Thou God of all,
C       G
Hear us when we call,
D                   A7     D
Help us one and all by Thy grace;
G
When the battle’s done,
C       G
And the vict’ry’s won,

May we wear the crown before Thy face.

Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
