Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: TS51896 #90 (1896) First Line: Let us rally, rally, rally ‘round the banner of the cross Refrain First Line: Then awake, awake, and rally ‘round the cross Lyrics: 1 Let us rally, rally, rally ‘round the banner of the cross!
Let us raise it higher, higher, for it must not suffer loss!
Are we not the Savior’s chosen, purchased by His love divine?
He is calling for the faithful—rally, rally into line!
Refrain:
Then awake, awake, and rally ‘round the cross,
Awake for the bugle is sounding,
Then awake, awake, and rally ‘round the cross,
Let us rally, rally, rally, rally,
Let us rally ‘round the cross.
2 Hark! the trumpet call is sounding over all the land today,
Souls are dying, dying, dying—oh how can we still delay?
How the faithful ones are striving; look! the foe begins to yield!
Glory, glory hallelujah! rally, rally on the field! [Refrain]
3 Hear the blessed promise ringing o’er the din of earthly strife—
“Unto Him that overcometh I will give a crown of life!”
‘Tis the voice of Jesus speaking, voice the sweetest ever heard;
Take, oh, take the cross and rally, rally, rally at His word! [Refrain] Tune Title: [Let us rally, rally, rally ‘round the banner of the cross]
Rally! Rally! Rally!
