Author: P. P. Bliss Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: March to the battle field Lyrics: 1 March to the battlefield,
March on with sword and shield;
March on; the foe shall yield
To Christ our King;
Onward, ye faithful band,
Onward at His command;
Onward, nor halting stand,
But loudly sing.
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory
We sing by the way;
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
And faith gains the day.
2 Stand firm against thy foes;
Stand, though a host oppose;
Stand! well our Leader knows
Our conflicts all;
"Fear not," He says to thee,
"Fear not, but valiant be,
Fear not, but trust in Me;
The foe must fall."
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory
We sing by the way;
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
And faith gains the day.
3 Fight, though thy foes increase;
Fight, till the dawn of peace;
Fight, till the war shall cease,
Then shout and sing;
Shout, then, triumphantly,
Shout, shout the victory;
Shout, "Glory be to Thee,
O Lord, our King!
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory
We sing by the way;
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
This is the victory,
And faith gains the day.
