1.

Hear the cry! Rise up for war!
See what is at stake now!
Tribulation’s at the door!
Through each barrier break now.

Chorus:

Forward go in battle though the obstacles are great!
At the fore the trumpet sounds the calling!
Signs are clear! The time is late!
Night will soon be falling.

2.

God’s Word is fulfilled these days;
Nation wars ’gainst nation.
Banner of the cross we raise,
Filled with jubilation!

3.

Those who conquer sin will reign
Over every nation.
Watch and pray! The vict’ry gain!
Great our expectation!

4.

Soon redemption day is here,
Therefore lift your vision!
Have good courage! God is near,
Guiding with precision.

5.

Jesus Christ will soon appear;
Home His bride will go then.
For His Word she’s battled here.
Heaven’s rest she’ll know then.
