303. Come With Hearts Rejoicing On This Happy

1 Come with hearts rejoicing on this happy day,
For a mighty army stands in bright array,
Hearts both brave and loyal, soldiers of the King,
Ready for the battle, hear the trumpets ring.

Refrain:
On then, gallant comrades, never fearful be,
Jesus our great Captain, leads to victory;
On then, gallant comrades, never fearful be,
Jesus, our great Captain, leads to victory.

2 Armor bright and shining, breast-plate tried and true,
Helmet of salvation, courage then renew;
Proudly waves our banner, emblem of the free,
By this sign we conquer through eternity. [Refrain]

3 See the prize before us–immortality,
Forward ever pressing, never falter we,
Till our notes of triumph swelling to the sky,
Christ our King and Saviour, laud and magnify. [Refrain]
