SS&S Hymn #1100: Christian soldiers all

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1
Christian soldiers all, hear our Leader’s call;
Who will rally at the King’s command?
Firmly, steadily, on to victory,
See, advancing, "Our Endeavour Band."
Forward! soldiers all; hear our Leader’s call!
Onward! onward, with the Sword and Shield!
Signals flashing bright, in the shining light,
Cheer us onward to the battlefield!
2
Hear the trump of war sounding near and far,
Haste to conquer in Jehovah’s name;
To the promised land, with His mighty hand,
He will lead us with a loud acclaim.
3
On, our foes to brave! on, the world to save!
Armed with courage as the moments fly;
Shouts of triumph rise, rank to rank replies,
As with joy we wave our banners high!
4
When our labour’s done, and the victory won,
Then with Jesus we shall meet above;
Oh, how sweet ’twill be, there His
face to see, In the mansions of eternal love!
