No truce while the foe is unconquered
No laying the armor down!
No peace until the battle's ended
And victory wins the crown.
Then forward O army of Zion,
With hearts that are loyal and brave!
Stand firm by the Cross and its banner,
And rest in the Mighty to save.
Then gird on the sword of the Spirit,
With helmet and breastplate and shield
And valiantly follow our Captain
Determined you will never yield.
Be Thou exalted, forever and ever,
God of eternity, Ancient of Days!
Wondrous in majesty, perfect in wisdom
Glorious in holiness, fearful in praise
Then forward O army of Zion,
With hearts that are loyal and brave!
Stand firm by the Cross and its banner,
And rest in the Mighty to save.
