1 Press the battle, Christian soldier!
God commissions us to go
In the strength of Christ, our Leader,
Satan’s hosts to overthrow.
‘Gainst Him bitter warfare waging,
In the conflict fiercely raging,
Ev’ry ransom’d pow’r engaging,
Press the battle on.

Refrain:
We’ll press the battle on, still press the battle on,
From morning light till setting sun
Ne’er lay our armor down;
We’ll press the battle on, still press the battle on,
Until the victory is won,
And we’ve obtained the crown.

2 In our own fair land beloved,
And in lands across the sea,
Multitudes are still in bondage,
Pleading, longing to be free.
Millions now in darkness lying,
For the bread of life are crying;
Haste to save, or perish trying—
Press the battle on. [Refrain]

3 On the winning side with Jesus
Never falter, never fear;
Victor in a thousand battles,
He our helper, ever near.
With His banner floating o’er us,
We shall in His cause most glorious,
Over sin come off victorious,
Press the battle on. [Refrain]
