The World Must Be Taken

The world must be tak­en for the Lord;

Onward

sol­diers

and arm ye for the fight.

In His name now watch and fight and pray

Till all foes fear and trem­ble at the sight.

Ever on­ward

Christ­ian sol­dier

The world must be tak­en for the Lord

Ever on­ward be your watch­word

The world must be tak­en for the Lord.

The world must be tak­en for the Lord;

And if faith­ful we know that we shall win.

Each day there’s a shout along the line

As we cap­ture some ci­ta­del of sin.

The world must be tak­en for the Lord;

Final vic­to­ry is near­er ev­ery day.

The past holds no re­cord of a time

When so ma­ny as now the Lord ob­ey.

The world must be tak­en for the Lord;

Every na­tion and land shall yet be won.

His ban­ner shall wave o’er all the world

For our God with His ar­my march­es on.
