Hope of Israel

Lyrics

1. 1. Hope of Israel, Zion’s army,

   Children of the promised day,

   See, the Chieftain signals onward,

   And the battle’s in array!

2. [Chorus]

   Hope of Israel, rise in might

   With the sword of truth and right;

   Sound the war-cry, “Watch and pray!”

   Vanquish ev’ry foe today.

3. 2. See the foe in countless numbers,

   Marshaled in the ranks of sin.

   Hope of Israel, on to battle;

   Now the vict’ry we must win!

4. 3. Strike for Zion, down with error;

   Flash the sword above the foe!

   Ev’ry stroke disarms a foeman;

   Ev’ry step we conq’ring go.

5. 4. Soon the battle will be over;

   Ev’ry foe of truth be down.

   Onward, onward, youth of Zion;

   Thy reward the victor’s crown.
