Hope of Israel
Hymns (1985, 2002 ed.), 259

1. Hope of Israel, Zion’s army,Children of the promised day,See, the Chieftain signals onward,And the battle’s in array!
[Chorus]Hope of Israel, rise in mightWith the sword of truth and right;Sound the war-cry, “Watch and pray!”Vanquish ev’ry foe today.
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!
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.
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.
