Hear the call of Christ our Captain.
in the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth,
we'll stand against the devil's lies.
whose battle cry is love,
A call to war, to love the captive soul,
but to rage against the capital,
in the fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on every side,
Renew the outcome, ye Savior,
And Christ will have the price for which he died,
An inheritance of nations.
where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken.
like crushed beneath his feet,
For the conqueror has risen.
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This dainty march continues till the day
Every ironed heart shall see him.
With strength in every stride,
Give grace for every hurdle,
that we may run with faith
to win the prize of a servant
And saints of old still line the way,
retaining triumphs of his grace.
