Sound the battle cry

The song below kept repeating in my thoughts during a time of prayer and with this the picture of the ceremonial trumpeters (with flags) - lifting up their trumpets into the air to herald the entrance of the King!

There were many of them - lined along a balcony - high up in the rafters - all dressed in FULL ceremonial regalia






  1. Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh;
    Raise the standard high for the Lord;
    Gird your armor on, stand firm every one;
    Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
    • Refrain:
      Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
      Ready, steady, pass the word along;
      Onward, forward, shout aloud, “Hosanna!”
      Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
  2. Strong to meet the foe, marching on we go,
    While our cause we know, must prevail;
    Shield and banner bright, gleaming in the light,
    Battling for the right we ne’er can fail.
  3. O Thou God of all, hear us when we call,
    Help us one and all by Thy grace;
    When the battle’s done, and the vict’ry’s won,
    May we wear the crown before Thy face.
Joy
