Author: J. V. R. Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #73 (1960) First Line: There's a battle raging over the land and sea Refrain First Line: Over the top for Jesus bravely we will go Lyrics: 1 There’s a battle raging over the land and sea,
True to Christ our captain we will be;
Satan’s hosts are mighty, fighting for ruin and sin,
But in this great conflict right is sure to win.
Refrain:
Over the top for Jesus bravely we will go:
Over the top for Jesus, routing ev’ry foe,
Never delaying when we hear the bugle blow,
We’ll fight for right with all our might,
As over the top we go.
2 There’s a cry of sorrow rising from hearts oppressed,
There’s a world in sadness and unrest;
But the hope that thrills us, looking out into the night,
Christ, the Lord of battles, leads me in the fight. [Refrain]
3 When the pow’rs of earth before our Redeemer shall kneel,
When the joy of triumph we shall feel;
Then with Christ who conquered, into the realms of the blest,
We shall march in vic’try to eternal rest. [Refrain] Topics: Children; Choruses; Rally Day Tune Title: [There's a battle raging over the land and sea]
