The Fight Is On (EN 4736)

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.

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!

2

The fight is on, arouse, ye soldiers brave and true!

Jehovah leads, and victory will assure;

Go buckle on the armor God has given you,

And in His strength unto the end endure.

3

The Lord is leading on to certain victory;

The bow of promise spans the eastern sky;

His glorious Name in every land shall honored be;

The morn will break, the dawn of peace is nigh.
