This is the festal hour; Forth from the grave the Savior Christ hath ris’n; Garland the cross with flowers and fragrant wreaths; The Savior lives, and death no more hath power, 2 Soldiers, arouse. and banish Lenten gloom; Let sacred joy this Easter morn attend; Jesus hath burst the mighty bands of death, And holy angels guard the riven tomb. 3 Soldiers, to prayer! Kneel first this blessèd day To Him, the Lord of hosts, the King of kings; See on your banner His redeeming cross, And there your motto, Ever watch and pray. 4 Soldiers, to arms! Forth to life’s battlefield, The Spirit’s sword your only trust shall be, While on your brow salvation’s helmet rests, And Christian faith protects you as a shield. 5 Soldiers, salute, with Heav’n’s triumphant host, Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the Conqueror! Yield Him the homage due Almighty God; Worship the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Used With Tune: BRABANT Text Sources: The Sunday School Hymnal by Charles L. Hutchins (Buffalo: Breed, Lent, 1871)
