1. Uprouse you! Soldiers of the Cross,
And let your banner fly;
Ring out the tale of Jesus’ love,
And raise your songs on high:
Tell all the nations how He died
To save the world from sin;
Proclaim the kingdom’s open gates,
That all may enter in!
2. O rouse you to your noble task,
To win a dying world,
And rest not till in ev’ry land
Christ’s banner be unfurled!
O never let your voice be stilled,
Your lifelong struggle ceases,
Till all the earth shall worship Him,
Th’eternal Prince of Peace.
3. Then forward to the battle press,
Ye ransomed sons of light;
Your dauntless soul shall vict’ry gain
In ev’ry long-drawn fight;
Till ye before the throne of God
Your joyful captives bring,
And with the crown upon your brow,
His endless praises sing!
