Refrain

Lift aloft the cross of Je­sus,
Hold it high and strong;
Shout the name of Him who saves us,
Swell the bat­tle song.

Forward, sol­diers, bold and fear­less,
Hear the call of God;
Prove your cour­age in the con­flict,
Tread where brave men trod.

Refrain

Faith our shield, and hope our hel­met,
Satan’s hosts we face;
Marshaled in the might of Je­sus,
Win we by His grace.

Refrain

Heed the or­der of our cap­tain,
Wield the Spir­it’s sword;
Onward, fear­less, press to con­quer,
Slaying by His Word.

Refrain

They shall share the glad ho­san­na,
Who on Him be­lieve;
They shall ’neath His roy­al ban­ner
Crowns of life re­ceive.
