Mrs. C. H. Morris Mrs. C. H. Morris
 
  1. The fight is on, the trum - pet sound is ring - ing out,
    The cry 'To arms!' is heard a far and near;
    The Lord of hosts is march-ing on to vic - to - ry,
    The tri-umph of the Christ will soon ap-pear.
    Chorus
    The fight is on, O Chris-tian sol-dier,
    And face to face in stern ar - ray,
    With ar - mor gleam -ing, and col - ors streaming.
    The right andon, but be not wea - ry;
    Be strong, and in his might hold fast;
    If God be for us, his ban-ner o'er us,
    We'll sing the vie- tor's song at last.
  2. The fight is on, a - rouse, ye sol - diers brave and true!
    Je - ho - vah leads, and vic - tory will an-swer;
    Go, buck - le on the ar - mor God has giv - en you,
    And in His strength un - to the end en-dure. is nigh.
    Chorus
  3. The Lord is lead - ing on to cer tain vie to ry;
    The bow of prom - ise spans the east ern sky ;
    His glo - rious name in ev - ery land shall hon-ored be ;
    The moon will break, the dawn of peace
    Chorus
