Verse 1
The fight is on, the trumpet sound is ringing out, The cry "To arms!" is heard afar and near; The Lord of hosts is marching on to victory, The triumph of the Christ will soon appear.
Chorus
The fight is on, O Christian soldier, And face to face in stern array, With armor gleaming, and colors streaming, The right and wrong engage today! The fight is on, but be not weary; Be strong and in His might hold fast; If God be for us, His banner o'er us, We'll sing the victor's song at last!
Verse 2
The fight is on, Arouse, ye soldiers brave and true! Jehovah leads, and vict'ry will assure; Go, buckle on the armor God has given you, And in His strength unto the end endure.
Chorus
The fight is on, O Christian soldier, And face to face in stern array, With armor gleaming, and colors streaming, The right and wrong engage today! The fight is on, but be not weary; Be strong and in His might hold fast; If God be for us, His banner o'er us, We'll sing the victor's song at last!
Verse 3
The Lord is leading on to certain victory; The bow of promise spans the eastern sky; His glorious name in ev'ry land shall honored be; The morn will break, the dawn of peace is nigh.
Chorus
The fight is on, O Christian soldier, And face to face in stern array, With armor gleaming, and colors streaming, The right and wrong engage today! The fight is on, but be not weary; Be strong and in His might hold fast; If God be for us, His banner o'er us, We'll sing the victor's song at last!
