Hear the call of God;
Prove your courage in the conflict,
Tread where brave men trod.
Refrain:
Lift aloft the cross of Jesus,
Hold it high and strong;
Shout the name of him who saves us,
Swell the battle song.
2 Faith our shield, and hope our helmet,
Satan’s hosts we face;
Marshaled in the might of Jesus,
Win we by his grace. [Refrain]
3 Heed the order of our Captain,
Wield the Spirit’s sword;
Onward, fearless, press to conquer,
Slaying by his Word. [Refrain]
4 They shall share the glad Hosanna,
Who on him believe;
They shall ’neath his royal banner
Crowns of life receive. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Forward, soldiers, bold and fearless]
