1 Sounding the watch-cry, on we go;
Ever our colors glad we show;
Soldiers of Jesus, march along
With happy, happy hearts and grateful song.

Refrain:
Then sound aloud the watch-cry,
Joyful as we go;
Sound aloud the watch-cry
Working here below;
Sound the watch-cry ever
Till our work is done,
And our crown is won.

2 Sounding the watch-cry far and near,
Glory to Jesus, Savior dear;
O let the earth rejoice and sing
Hosanna to His name, our heav’nly king. [Refrain]

3 Fearless and faithful we would be;
Savior, unite us all in Thee;
Fit us to dwell on yonder shore
And shout aloud Thy praise for evermore. [Refrain]
