LyicsArise, ye saints, arise!
The Lord our Leader is;
The foe before his banner flies,
For victory is his.
Lead on, almighty Lord,
Lead on to victory!
Encouraged by the bright reward,
With joy we'll follow thee.
We'll follow thee, our Guide,
Our Saviour and our King;
We'll follow thee, through grace supplied
From heaven's eternal spring.
We hope to see the day
When all our toils shall cease;
When we shall cast our arms away
And dwell in endless peace.
This hope supports us here,
It makes our burdens light;
'T will serve our drooping hearts to cheer,
Till faith shall end in sight;
Till, of the prize possessed,
We hear of war no more;
And O, sweet thought! for ever rest
On yonder peaceful shore!
