Lyrics

With shield and ban­ner wav­ing bright,
The ar­mies of the Lord
Are march­ing on, at His com­mand,
To con­quer thro’ His Word.

Refrain

To vic­to­ry, to vic­to­ry,
O hear them shout and sing;
To vic­to­ry, to vic­to­ry,
For Christ, the Lord, our king.

Tho’ sin’s dark host against them rise,
In dread and stern ar­ray,
They trust in Him whose migh­ty arm
To vic­t’ry leads the way.

Refrain

Thro’ dan­gers wild and perils deep
Their path to glo­ry lies;
But faith be­holds their pro­mised crown
Of tri­umph in the skies.
