Awake! for the trum­pet is sound­ing!
Awake to its call, and obey!
The voice of our lead­er cries, On­ward!
Oh, let us no long­er de­lay!

Refrain

No truce while the foe is un­con­quered;
No lay­ing the ar­mor down!
No peace till the bat­tle is end­ed,
And vic­to­ry wins the crown!

Then gird on the sword of the Spi­rit,
With hel­met, and breast­plate, and shield;
And val­iant­ly fol­low your cap­tain,
Determined you ne­ver will yield!

Refrain

Then for­ward! O ar­my of Zi­on,
With hearts that are loy­al and brave!
Stand firm by the cross and its ban­ner;
And rest in the Migh­ty to save!
