<div class="lyrics">
<p>Rise, ye children of salvation,<br>
All who cleave to Christ the Head;<br>
Wake, awake, O mighty nation,<br>
Ere the foe on Zion tread;<br>
He draws nigh, and would defy<br>
All the hosts of God most high.</p>
<p>Saints and martyrs long before us<br>
Firmly on this ground have stood;<br>
See their banner waving o&#8217;er us,<br>
Conquerors through the Savior&#8217;s blood.<br>
Ground we hold, whereon of old,<br>
Fought the faithful and the bold.</p>
<p>Fighting, we shall be victorious<br>
By the blood of Christ our Lord;<br>
On our foreheads, bright and glorious,<br>
Shines the witness of His Word;<br>
Spear and shield on battlefield,<br>
His great Name; we cannot yield.</p>
<p>When His servants stand before Him<br>
Each receiving his reward,<br>
When His saints in light adore Him,<br>
Giving glory to the Lord;<br>
&#8220;Victory!&#8221; our song shall be<br>
Like the thunder of the sea.</p>
