Jones Rally Round the Standard (or There Is Need of Valiant Soldiers in the Army of the Lord) } There is need of valiant soldiers in the army of the Lord, To rally round the standard of the cross; With a holy consecration and unwav'ring faith in God, Oh, rally round the standard of the cross! Chorus Round the standard rally, at the Master's word; It must never know defeat or suffer loss, Round the standard rally for your sov'reign Lord, Oh, rally round the standard of the cross Strongly guarded and defended are the battlement s of sin; Oh, rally round the standard of the cross, But with Christ our blest Commander, We the victory shall win; Oh, rally round the standard of the cross. All good angels will go with you, and the Captai n of the host; Then, rally round the standard of the cross! And your crown be gemm'd with jewels for the rescue of the lost; Then, rally round the standard of the cross!
