Sound The Battle Cry

A Sound the battle cry! D A See, the foe is nigh; E B7 E Raise the standard high for the Lord; A Gird your armor on, D A Stand firm, every one; A D A E A Rest your cause upon His holy Word. A E A Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner, C# F#m B E Ready, steady, pass the word along; A E A Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna! A D A E A Christ is Captain of the mighty throng. A Strong to meet the foe, D A Marching on we go, E B7 E While our cause we know, must prevail; A Shield and banner bright, D A Gleaming in the light; A D A E A Battling for the right we ne’er can fail. A E A Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner, C# F#m B E Ready, steady, pass the word along; A E A Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna! A D A E A Christ is Captain of the mighty throng. A O! Thou God of all, D A Hear us when we call, E B7 E Help us one and all by Thy grace; A When the battle’s done, D A And the vict’ry’s won, A D A E A May we wear the crown before Thy face. A E A Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner, C# F#m B E Ready, steady, pass the word along; A E A Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna! A D A E A Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
