G
Sound the battle cry!

C        G
See, the foe is nigh;

D                       A7      D
Raise the standard high for the Lord;

G
Gird your armor on,

C           G
Stand firm, every one;

G         C              G  D G
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
[Chorus]
G                      D               G
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,

B      Em      A              D
Ready, steady, pass the word along;

G                D              G
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna!

G         C              G   D  G
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
[Verse 2]
G
Strong to meet the foe,

C        G
Marching on we go,

D                        A7      D
While our cause we know, must prevail;

G
Shield and banner bright,

C        G
Gleaming in the light;

G        C                G     D   G
Battling for the right we ne’er can fail.
[Chorus]
G                      D               G
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,

B      Em      A              D
Ready, steady, pass the word along;

G                D              G
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna!

G         C              G   D  G
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
[Verse 3]
G
O! Thou God of all,

C       G
Hear us when we call,

D                   A7     D
Help us one and all by Thy grace;

G
When the battle’s done,

C       G
And the vict’ry’s won,

G      C                G    D   G
May we wear the crown before Thy face.
[Chorus]
G                      D               G
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,

B      Em      A              D
Ready, steady, pass the word along;

G                D              G
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna!

G         C              G   D  G
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
