Hark! ’t is the warlike clarion
L. M.
1
Hark! 't is the warlike clarion:On, to the battle, heroes, on!To arms! to arms! resounds on highThe voice of war and victory.
2
Haste to the battle! See! the LordWaves 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 hellBefore 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!
