Body broken,
God hath spoken—
By the Word,
Spirit led.
Ever vigilant
Church militant—
Triumphant chorus—
Praise surrounds our King.
Fear no battle:
Christ has conquered,
Joined us to His body,
By the Spirit’s love.
The Nile He parted,
Drowned Pharoah’s army;
Walls of Jericho
Have tumbled to ruin.
Above the treetops
Goes the Lord’s army:
We enter into
His victory won.
Saints of old testify,
The angelic host,
Led by the Angel
Of our mighty Lord.
Open the eyes of
Your blind, dull servants:
Give us eyes to see
The invisible host.
Christ goes before us,
As with Saints of old;
The Church triumphant
Cry, “How long, O Lord?”
Though Satan prowls,
God’s Lamb shall growl,
Binding the strong man
For the Body’s work.
Adopted to Christ
United His Body,
Equipped by Spirit,
Taking dominion—
All is Christ’s;
Christ is all,
From heaven
To hell’s depths.
Church awaken,
Fulfill the mission:
Christ hath given
Thee commission.
Unfurl the banner,
Proclaim the news:
By His sign
Shalt thou conquer.
Let the gentiles rage
As saints work the fields
For the kingdom
That has no end.
May our Sabbath
Never be
Until Christ
Claims victory.
