1

Hark! 't is the warlike clarion:
On, to the battle, heroes, on!
To arms! to arms! resounds on high
The voice of war and victory.

2

Haste to the battle! See! the Lord
Waves to the clouds his conquering sword.
To arms! to arms! I hear the cry,
On, on, to bloodless victory!

3

The fierce embattled hosts of hell
Before the dreadful onset fell.
To arms! to arms! was once the cry,
But now the trump sounds victory!

4

Lo! the white war-horse treads them down,
I know the rider by his crown.
All hail! all hail! his legions cry;
Jesus, be thine the victory!
