Lo! The Day Of God Is Breaking

Lo! the day of God is breaking;

See the gleaming from afar!

Sons of earth from slumber waking,

Hail the Bright and Morning Star.

Refrain

Hear the call! O gird your armor on,

Grasp the Spirit's mighty sword:

Take the helmet of salvation,

Pressing on to battle for the Lord!

Trust in Him Who is your Captain;

Let no heart in terror quail;

Jesus leads the gath'ring legions,

In His Name we shall prevail.

Refrain

Onward marching, firm and steady,

Faint not, fear not Satan's frown,

For the Lord is with you always,

Till you wear the victor's crown.

Refrain

Conq'ring hosts with banners waving,

Sweeping on o'er hill and plain,

Ne'er shall halt till swells the anthem,

"Christ o'er all the world doth reign!"

Refrain
