Lyrics

Gird on, gird on your ar­mor, and away,
Like he­roes be firm and true;
Lead on your ranks to bat­tle for the Lord,
Who tri­umphed ov­er death and the grave for you.

Refrain

We’ll bat­tle to the end, we’ll bat­tle to the end,
And then our crown we’ll wear;
We’ll ga­ther on the shore, re­joic­ing ev­er­more,
With all the no­ble ar­my there.

Our foes are strong, but great­er far is He
Whose arm is our strength and shield;
March on, march on with bold and fear­less tread;
We’ll con­quer by His grace, but we’ll nev­er yield.

Refrain

No fal­ter­ing step, no faint and fear­ful heart,
No truce with the hosts of sin;
Be strong in Him, our nev­er fail­ing trust;
Remember there’s a palm and a crown to win.
