Christian, gird the armor on, There’s a vict’ry to be won For the Lord, for the Lord; Take the helmet, sword, and shield, Forth unto the battlefield At His Word, at His Word.
Refrain: On we’ll march to victory; Jesus will our leader be, Jesus will our leader be; On we’ll march to victory, To a final and a glorious victory.
Let His banner be unfurled, Till it waves o’er all the world, Sea to sea, shore to shore; Till the nations all shall own He is King, and He alone, Evermore, evermore.
When the battle shall be done, And the victory be won Conflict past, conflict past; In our happy home above, We’ll receive a crown of love, At the last, at the last.
That will be an hour of joy, Praise shall then our tongues employ More and more, more and more; We shall stand before the King, And the song of triumph sing Evermore, evermore.
