Lyrics

Take up the bat­tle cry
All along the line;
You shall gain the vic­to­ry,
Victory di­vine,
With your com­mand­er nigh,
Foes in vain com­bine;
Raise aloft the ban­ner,
Let it bear the sign.

Refrain

All the world for Je­sus,
Let the cho­rus ring;
All the world for Je­sus,
Crown Him King;
All the world for Je­sus,
Let the watch­word be
Forward go in Je­sus’
Name to vic­to­ry.

Truth’s ar­mor you may claim,
Faith will be your shield;
Fighting on in Je­sus’ name,
Mighty pow­er you wield;
Glory for God your aim,
Naught can make you yield;
Shout aloud the tri­umph
Sure to be re­vealed.

Refrain

Soldiers, with cour­age go,
Go for­sak­ing all;
Onward, then, to meet the foe,
Ssoon the foe shall fall;
Send migh­ty blow on blow—
Let no fear ap­pall;
In the name of Je­sus,
Sound afar the call.
