First Line: Lo ! the day of God is breaking,

Lo ! the day of God is breaking ;
See the gleaming from afar !
Sons of earth from slumber waking
Hail the Bright and Morning Star.

Hear the call ! Oh, gird your armour on,
Grasp the Spirit's mighty Sword ;
Take the Helmet of Salvation,
Pressing on to battle for the Lord !

2 Trust in Him who is your Captain ;
Let no heart in terror quail ;
Jesus leads the gathering legions,
In His name we shall prevail.

3 Onward marching, firm and steady,
Faint not, fear not Satan's frown ;
For the Lord is with you alway,
Till you wear the victor's crown.

4 Conquering hosts with banners waving,
Sweeping on o'er hill and plain,
Ne'er shall halt till swells the anthem
Christ o'er all the world doth reign !
