1 Hark the Gospel trumpet sounding, Hear its echo far and wide; Millions to the Cross are flying, Where the Saviour bled and died Come andjoin that noble army, And our battle cry shall be, Rally round the Cross of Jesus, He has died to make us free. Chorus: Rally round the Cross, Rally round the Cross, Jesus died to make us free; Rally, rally round the Cross. 2 Through his all atoning merit, We no more are slaves to sin; By his grace we yet may conquer Foes without and foes within. Courage, let our hearts be valiant, And our armor brightly shine; Take the helmet of salvation, Wield the sword of truth divine. 3 See our glorious banner waving O'er the Christian's battle-ground; Faithful at our posts of duty, Let us each and all be found. See our glorious banner waving, To its colors boldly stand; Lo! one "beacon" in the distance, Pointing to the promised land.
