The Bright Array ‎#184

184. Soldiers of Zion

1 Soldiers of Zion, on we go,
Brave are the hearts that face the foe;
Vict’ry awaits us, for we know
We follow the Lord our King;
Not by the might of human arm,
Not by the pow’r of earth to harm,
But by the Spirit’s holy charm,
Shall we the triumph sing.

Refrain:
Soldiers of Zion, on we go,
Brave are the hearts that face the foe;
Vict’ry awaits us, for we know
We follow the Lord our King.

2 Hark to the trump that sounds for war,
See how the flag goes on before,
Look how the ranks swell more and more
As Jesus the King leads on;
Strong are the hosts of Sin and Death,
Stronger the might of Him who saith,
“I will consume them with my breath!”
Then will the field be won. [Refrain]

3 Sure as the Truth, will dawn the day
When giant Wrong will end his sway,
Bondage and Error flee away,
And earth to the Lord belong;
Courage, ye souls who fight and plod,
This is the path that worthies trod;
Gird up your loins, Elect of God;
Soon comes the victor’s song. [Refrain]
