Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men! O let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad! Strike! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Amen.
