Rise, Ye Children of Salvation

 

 

VERSE 1

Rise, ye children of salvation,

All who cleave to Christ the Head;

Wake, awake, O mighty nation,

Ere the foe on Zion tread;

He draws nigh, and would defy

All the hosts of God most high.

 

VERSE 2

Saints and martyrs long before us

Firmly on this ground have stood;

See their banner waving o’er us,

Conquerors through the Savior’s blood.

Ground we hold, whereon of old,

Fought the faithful and the bold.

 

VERSE 3

Fighting, we shall be victorious

By the blood of Christ our Lord;

On our foreheads, bright and glorious,

Shines the witness of His Word;

Spear and shield on battlefield,

His great Name; we cannot yield.

 

VERSE 4

When His servants stand before Him

Each receiving his reward,

When His saints in light adore Him,

Giving glory to the Lord;

“Victory!” our song shall be

Like the thunder of the sea.
