Can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
Oh, can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
There’s a time a rest beside cool waters,
To watch and wait and plan,
There’s a time to rise up like an army,
Take our weapons in our hands;
The Lord victorious goes before us,
Do not be afraid!
Oh, can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
Let us not grow weary as we carry,
The Gospel to the lost,
Let us lay our lives down in the service,
Of our Captain and His cross,
For evil rages, so hearts courageous,
We must soldier on.
Oh, can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
He has sounded forth the trumpet and shall never call retreat,
(Ooooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
He’s sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift my soul to answer him, be jubilant my feet,
(Ahhhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh)
As truth goes marching on.
Oh, can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
Oh, can you hear the battle cry, who is on the Savior’s side?
Help us lift the blood-stained banner high,
Can you hear the battle cry?
