| 1. Hark to the call of the New Crusade,
Christ over all will King be made;
Out to the world let the challenge ring:
Make Christ King!
Refrain.
Hail to the King of kings!
Triumphant Redeemer!
On march the soldiers
of the New Crusade.
This is the battle cry:
Christ made the King!
And to our Sov’reign
we allegiance bring;
Prince, Guide and Counselor
He shall be.
Carry the standard to victory!
Hail to the call of the New Crusade:
Make Christ King!
2. Strong is the foe
of the New Crusade,
Sin in its armor is well arrayed;
Into the fight we our best must fling:
Make Christ King!
Refrain.
Hail to the King of kings!
Triumphant Redeemer!
On march the soldiers
of the New Crusade.
This is the battle cry:
Christ made the King!
And to our Sov’reign
we allegiance bring;
Prince, Guide and Counselor
He shall be.
Carry the standard to victory!
Hail to the call of the New Crusade:
Make Christ King!
3. Come, in His Name
join the pilgrim throng,
Stand for the right,
and down the wrong;
Glory to god, let the chorus sing,
Make Christ King!
Refrain.
Hail to the King of kings!
Triumphant Redeemer!
On march the soldiers
of the New Crusade.
This is the battle cry:
Christ made the King!
And to our Sov’reign
we allegiance bring;
Prince, Guide and Counselor
He shall be.
Carry the standard to victory!
Hail to the call of the New Crusade:
Make Christ King!
