All the World for Jesus (Breck)

Take up the battle cry all along the line;
You shall gain the victory, victory divine,
With your Commander nigh, foes in vain combine;
Raise aloft the banner, let it bear the sign.

Refrain

“All the world for Jesus,” let the chorus ring;
“All the world for Jesus,” crown Him King;
“All the world for Jesus,” let the watchword be
“Forward go in Jesus’ Name to victory.”

Truth’s armor you may claim, faith will be your shield;
Fighting on in Jesus’ Name, mighty power you wield;
Glory for God your aim, naught can make you yield;
Shout aloud the triumph sure to be revealed.

Refrain

Soldiers, with courage go, go forsaking all;
Onward, then, to meet the foe, soon the foe shall fall;
Send mighty blow on blow—let no fear appall;
In the Name of Jesus, sound afar the call.

Refrain
