Saints, for whom the Saviour bled
In your Captain’s footsteps tread;
Follow Jesus, and be led
On to victory!
See your foemen take the ground;
While the signal trumpets sound,
Hear his accents pour around
Cheering melody!
Christian soldier, on with me!
Soon your enemies must flee;
Your reward before you see
Sparkling from on high!
Boldly take the glorious field;
You may fall—but must not yield;
You shall write upon your shield
Victory, though you die!
By the ransom which he gave,
By his triumph o'er the grave,
Trust his mighty power to save ;
Firm and faithful be:
And when death’s dark hour is nigh,
When the tear-drop dims the eye,
You shall, in the parting sigh,
Grasp the victory.
