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
