LyicsO Christians keep your armor bright,
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
In u-nion strong to-geth-er fight,
Ho-san-na to our King!
Come, laud and mag-ni-fy his name,
Nor let his praises cease;
His ways are ways of plea-sant-ness,
And all his paths are peace.
O it will be glo-rious,
With crowns and palms vic-to-ri-ous,
And Je-sus reign-ing o-ver us,
When our sad war-fare's o'er,
When our sad warfare's o'er
When our sad warfare's o'er,
And Je-sus reign-ing o-ver us
When our sad war-fare's o'er.
We will not act the coward's part,
But onward all proceed;
Our captain shall his grace impart
In every time of need.
Great peace have they who love his cause,
And on his word rely;
From such as keep his holy laws
The enemy will fly.
O it will be glorious, &c.
The world and sin may grieve us sore,
And rouse our weakest fears;
Our march is but a few days more
Through this dark vale of tears.
Death may assail and satan too,
With his opposing powers;
But let us prove our valor true,
The victory is ours.
O it will be glorious, &c.
