15. TO THE BATTLE WE'RE MARCHING
. . "JHli.UtfiJi MXiitfii:Mbs
LOTW Luz Sandmral-t-Matt:~:14""8"atttel -Phil·2.t5 RESURGENCE
To the battle we're marching, oh, Christians,
Be attired with charity and faith;
Like a sword we are holding the Bible,
Now's the time to impart liberty.
CHORUS
Oh, ye Christians, the torches of this world,
Raise your banner, a symbol of the truth;
You'll obtain a great triumph through Jesus,
Ye wilf enter in His eternal rest.
2
All the legions in white are now waiting,
And the harvest abounds more and more;
Let us raise our eyes up to the heavens,
In demand of the fire of the Lord.
3
To the battle we're marching, oh, Christians,
'Cause so quickly the time's passing by;
We will be reaping what our Brothers,
With their sweat and their blood they have sown.
4
Jesus Christ gives us eternal life
To those who leave their bad habits behind;
For obedience we will have in heaven,
All the dwellings He went to prepare.
5
Let's be faithful to all His commandments,
Because Christ in a cloud will come again;
From the heavens a great burst of fire
He will carry His flock up to rest.
