1 | Charge, soldiers, charge in battle! |
| | The conflict has begun; |
| Thy battle song triumphant- |
| | The victory is won! |
| Hells power must be vanquished |
| | And Satans forces strewn; |
| The Captain of the Army |
| | Will come and triumph soon. |
2 | Charge, soldiers, charge in battle! |
| | And gaze upon thy Lord; |
| If thou wilt fight His battle, |
| | The throne is thy reward. |
| This war is of the spirit, |
| | Not fought on earthly ground; |
| The Lord well knows the foe is near, |
| | Encircling us around. |
3 | Charge, soldiers, charge in battle! |
| | Christs throne awaiteth thee; |
| His resurrection power |
| | Will lift thy spirit free. |
| Through Him thou wilt have power, |
| | The foe to battle down; |
| Through Him thou wilt the triumph sing, |
| | And wear the victors crown. |
4 | Charge, soldiers, charge in battle! |
| | Thou shalt ascend the throne; |
| A feast He is preparing, |
| | How happy thou to own. |
| With Him were resurrected |
| | Above the battle din; |
| Transcending all that binds us, |
| | Were far above in Him. |
5 | Charge, soldiers, charge in battle! |
| | Thou art the royal heir; |
| The Lord from dust did choose thee, |
| | That thou His kingdom share. |
| Thou hast no part in darkness, |
| | Thy future, O how bright; |
| With Christ to dwell forever |
| | And in His love delight. |
6 | With joyful shouts charge forward! |
| | The kingdom is before; |
| Upon the peak of Zion |
| | Well sing, the battle oer. |
| The Lamb has won the victory! |
| | The Lamb is on the throne! |
| With shouts of joy we praise Him, |
| | For He must overcome. |
