Strike our tents, the night is ov­er!
See, the sha­dows one by one
Fade be­fore the com­ing splen­dor
Of the morn­ing’s gold­en sun.

Refrain

Strike our tents! the trum­pet sound­ing
Bids us now our march be­gin;
Strike our tents! the bat­tle rag­es!
There’s a vic­to­ry we must win.

Strike our tents! no time to lin­ger
When the foe is on our track;
Holy voic­es now are call­ing,
Follow Je­sus; look not back.

Refrain

Strike our tents, nor heed the ar­rows
By the wa­ry tempt­er hurled;
Trust in Him, our great De­liv­er­er,
He who ov­er­came the world.

Refrain

Ne’er des­ert our post of du­ty
Till the strife of war is done;
Then in realms of end­less glo­ry
Shout thro’ Christ the vic­to­ry won.
