Author: Eben E. Rexford Hymnal: Hymns for Today #249 (1920) First Line: We are soldiers in the army that is bound at last to win Refrain First Line: Hark! a sound like distant thunder! Lyrics: 1 We are soldiers in the army that is bound at last to win,
It will conquer hosts of evil on the battlefield of sin;
O that great, that glorious morning that will usher vict’ry in!
The vict’ry for the Right.
Refrain:
Hark! A sound like distant thunder! ‘Tis the sound of marching feet;
‘Tis the gath’ring of the army that will never know defeat;
And who marches into battle with the cry of “No retreat!”—
God’s helpers for the Right.
2 What we need most is the courage that the Lord alone can give,
Courage that will make us willing for His sake to die, or live;
Courage that will never falter, and to sin no quarter give,
But always stand for Right. [Refrain]
3 See the flag that we must fight for where the Lord encamps today,
Hear the blare of trumpets calling, “To the battlefield away!”
We must dare and do, my comrades, die, if need be in the fray,
To win the day for Right. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are soldiers in the army that is bound at last to win]
