1 Hark! ‘t is the warlike clarion:
On, to the battle, heroes, on!
To arms! to arms! resounds on high
The voice of war and victory. MIM 45.2
2 Haste to the battle! See! the Lord
Waves to the clouds his conquering sword.
To arms! to arms! I hear the cry,
On, on, to bloodless victory! MIM 45.3
3 The fierce embattled hosts of hell
Before the dreadful onset fell.
To arms! to arms! was once the cry,
But now the trump sounds victory! MIM 45.4
4 Lo! the white war-horse treads them down,
I know the rider by his crown.
All hail! all hail! his legions cry;
Jesus, be thine the victory! MIM 46.1
