Uprouse you! Sol­diers of the cross,
And let your ban­ner fly;
Ring out the tale of Je­sus’ love,
And raise your songs on high:
Tell all the na­tions how He died,
To save the world from sin;
Proclaim the king­dom’s op­en gates,
That all may en­ter in!

Arouse you to your no­ble task,
To win a dy­ing world,
And rest not till in ev­ery land
Christ’s ban­ner be un­furled!
O ne­ver let your voice be stilled,
Your life­long strug­gle cease,
Till all the earth shall wor­ship Him,
Th’eter­nal Prince of Peace.

Then for­ward, to the bat­tle press,
Ye ran­somed sons of light;
Your daunt­less souls shall vic­to­ry gain
In ev­ery long-drawn fight;
Till ye be­fore the throne of God
Your joy­ful cap­tives bring,
And with the crown up­on your brow,
His end­less prais­es sing!
