Forth To War lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Son of God goes forth to war
A royal priesthood and a kingdom and crown to gain
His blood-red banner streams to every nation, tribe and tongue
Who follows in His lead?
Who else can drink His cup of woe?
Triumphant over pain
Who patient bears his cross below
He follows in His lead

[Chorus]
Can you hear His call?
Rise up for when the Son of God goes forth to war
Who will follow in His lead?
When the Son of God goes forth to war
Who will follow in His lead?

[Verse 2]
The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave
He saw his Mastеr in the sky
And called on Him to save
Likе Him, with pardon on His tongue
In midst of mortal pain
He prayed for them that did the wrong
Who follows in his lead?
[Verse 3]
A glorious band the chosen few
On whom the Holy Spirit came
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew
But mocked the cross and flame
They met the tyrant's brandished steel
The lion's gory mane
They bowed their necks, the death to feel
Who follows in their lead?

[Chorus]
Can you hear His call?
Rise up for when the Son of God goes forth to war
Who will follow in his lead?
Who’ll drink His cup of woe?
Triumphant over pain
Who’ll bear his cross below?
He follows in His lead

[Bridge]
Who will follow in His lead?
Take your stand, noble men
The gates of Hell will not prevail

[Breakdown]
Lead your families against the darkness of this world
The gates of Hell will not prevail
[Chorus]
Can you hear His call?
Who will follow in His lead?

[Verse 4]
An army of men and boys
The matron and the maid
Around the throne rejoice
In robes of light arrayed
They climbed the ascent to Heaven
Through peril toil and pain
May grace to us be given
To follow in their lead

[Outro]
O God, to us may grace be given, to follow in their lead
When the Son goes forth to war
