EN 5190 The Call to Arms Is Sounding

Phil.1.27

Versi Version 1

1

The call to arms is sounding,

The foemen muster strong;

While saints beneath the altar

Are crying, “Lord, how long?”

The living and the loving

Christ’s royal standard raise,

And marching on to conflict

Shout forth their Captain’s praise.

2

No time for self-indulgence,

For resting by the way;

Repose will come at even,

But toil is for the day;

Work, like the blessed Jesus,

Who from His earliest youth

Would do His Father’s business

And witness for the truth.

3

For the one Faith, the true Faith,

The Faith which cannot fail,

For the one Church, the true Church,

’Gainst which no foes prevail;

Made one with God incarnate,

We in His might must win

The glory of self-conquest,

Of victory over sin.

4

Behold! upon Mount Sion

A glorious people stand,

A crown on every forehead,

A palm in every hand;

Lo! these are they who boldly

The Name of Christ confessed,

And now triumphant praise Him

In Heav’n’s unresting rest.

5

O Jesu! Who art waiting

Thy faithful ones to crown,

Vouchsafe to bless our conflict,

Our loving service own;

Come in each heart forever

As King adored to reign,

Till we with saints triumphant

Uplift the victor strain.
