Stone Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Marshall, ye hosts of God Refrain First Line: Onward march, and take this world of sin Lyrics: 1 Marshall, ye hosts of God, And take this world of sin, Long has the battle waged, Yet darkness reigns within. Day dawns we march away, Our banner to the breeze, Our battle cry, This world or die, The conquest ne’er give o’er. Refrain: Onward march, and take this world of sin, Press each foe, the battle now begin, See! Sin yields, we shout the victory, Crown him King, our song shall ever be. 2 Forward, we onward march, A vast and mighty throng, Darkness shall be dispell’d, All nations hear our song. Jesus our Captain is And leads the conquest on, A vict’ry win O’er death and sin, We raise the victor’s song. [Refrain] 3 Hasten, the coming day, When he shall reign supreme, Glory shall crown his brown, His praise the anthem theme. Higher the banner raise, His love and pow’r proclaim, The blood stained cross, Ne’er suffer loss, We claim the victory. [Refrain] 4 Ground arms! The vict’ry’s won, We march from earth away, Jesus still leads us on, In realms of glorious day. Higher the anthem raise, Let Heav’n its echo swell, Our spoils we bring And crown him King, Proclaim him conqueror. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Marshall, ye hosts of God]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[Marshall, ye hosts of God]" in The Service of Praise Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
