Hark to the call of the New Crusade,
Christ over all will king be made;
Out to the world let the challenge ring:
Make Christ king!
Refrain
Hail to the King of kings!
Triumphant Redeemer!
On march the soldiers of the New Crusade.
This is the battle cry: Christ made the king!
And to our sovereign we allegiance bring;
Prince, guide and counselor He shall be.
Carry the standard to victory!
Hail to the call of the New Crusade:
Make Christ king!
Strong is the foe of the New Crusade,
Sin in its armor is well arrayed;
Into the fight we our best must fling:
Make Christ king!
Refrain
Come, in His name join the pilgrim throng,
Stand for the right, and down the wrong;
Glory to God, let the chorus sing,
Make Christ king!
