Christ in Song 511
Strike for Victory
1Strike!
O strike for vict'ry,
Soldiers of the Lord,
Hoping in His mercy,
Trusting in His word;
Lift the gospel banner High above the world;
Let its folds of beauty Ever be unfurled.
RefrainStrike! strike for vict'ry,
Heroes bold;
Strike! till the vict'ry You behold;
Faith is the vict'ry;
Ne'er give o'er;
Rest then in glory Ever more.
2What tho' raging lions Meet us on the way!
Zionward we're marching,
Tow'rd the gates of day;
Ever pressing onward,
Onward to the light,
Till we reach the Jordan,
With our home in sight.
3Strike!
O strike for vict'ry,
Heroes of the cross,
Sacrificing pleasure,
Glorying in loss;
Bind the helmet stronger,
Tighter grasp the sword;
Conquering and to conquer,
Battle for the Lord.
4Hand to hand united,
Heart to heart as one,
Let us still keep marching Till our journey's done,
Till we see the angels Come in glory down,
With the shining garments And the victor's crown.
