143. O Stand Up Like a Hero

1 O stand up like a hero
And fight for the cause we love;
The trumpet calls to battle,
And god watches from above;
Lift high the banner of the cross,
It never knows defeat;
Regard no foe and fear no loss
Till triumph is complete;
March on behind our mighty Lord,
With joy obey his ev’ry word.
For the cause of God we ever fight,
For this is the cause of right.

2 March on, march on to vict’ry!
WE follow the Lord of light;
A mighty host is with us,
To vanquish the hosts of night;
We march to battle with a song,
A joyful band are we;
‘Tis faith that makes our courage strong,
‘Tis faith that makes us free;
‘Tis by our faith in God we win,
‘Tis by our faith we conquer sin.
For the cause of God we ever fight,
For this is the cause of right.

3 Go forward like a hero,
And pray as we onward go;
Each fight will mean a vict’ry,
Each sin we shall overthrow;
We make to God a solemn vow,
To do and dare and die,
If die we must to conquer now,
And on his grace rely;
Then forward go and toil and fight,
Brave soldier, forward into light.
For the cause of God we ever fight,
For this is the cause of right.
