CHARGE, SOLDIERS CHARGE IN BATTLE
1. Charge,
soldiers, charge in battle!
The conflict has
begun;
Thy battles song
triumphant
"The victory
is won!"
Hell's power must
be vanquished
And Satan's forces
strewn;
The Captain of the
Army
Will come and
triumph soon.
2. Charge,
soldiers, charge in battle!
And gaze upon thy
Lord;
If thou wilt fight
His battle,
The throne is thy
reward.
This war is of the
spirit,
Not fought on
earthly ground;
The Lord well knows
the foe is near,
Encircling us
around.
3. Charge,
soldiers, charge in battle!
Christ's throne
awaiteth thee;
His resurrection
power
Will lift thy
spirit free.
Through Him thou
wilt have power,
The foe to battle
down;
Through Him thou
wilt the triumph sing
And wear the
victor's crown.
4. Charge,
soldiers, charge in battle!
Thou shalt ascend
the throne;
A feast He is
preparing,
How happy thou to
own.
With Him we're
resurrected
Above the battle
din;
Transcending all
that binds us,
We're far above in
Him.
5. Charge,
soldiers, charge in battle!
Thou art the royal
heir;
The Lord from dust
did choose thee,
That thou His
kingdom share.
Thou hast no part
in darkness,
Thy future, O how
bright;
With Christ to
dwell forever
And in His love
delight.
6. With joyful
shouts charge forward!
The kingdom is
before;
Upon the peak of
Zion
We'll sing, the
battle o'er.
The Lamb has won
the victory!
The Lamb is on the
throne!
With shouts of joy
we praise Him,
For He must
overcome.
