980: Soldiers Of Our God, Arise

Book:   2015 Song Book
Chapter:   Our Response to God, Life and Service, Warfare

1.
SOLDIERS of our God, arise!
The day is drawing nearer;
Shake the slumber from your eyes,
The light is growing clearer.
Sit no longer idly by
While the heedless millions die,
Lift the bloodstained banner high
And take the field for Jesus.

Storm the forts of darkness,
Bring them down, bring them down!
Storm the forts of darkness,
Bring them down, bring them down!
Pull down the Devil's kingdom
Where'er he holds dominion;
Storm the forts of darkness,
Bring them down!
Glory, honor to the Lamb,
Praise and power to the Lamb,
Glory, honor, praise and power,
Be forever to the Lamb!

2.
See the brazen hosts of Hell,
Their art and power employing,
More than human tongue can tell,
The blood bought souls destroying.
Hark! from ruin's ghastly road
Victims groan beneath their load;
Forward, O ye sons of God,
And dare or die for Jesus.

3.
Warriors of the risen king,
Great Army of salvation,
Spread His fame, His praises sing
And conquer every nation.
Raise the glorious standard higher,
Work for victory, never tire;
Forward march with Blood and Fire
And win the world for Jesus.
