Preach the Word
Copyright, 1934.
Hold the Foursquare Fortress,
'Tis the testing day.
The enemy on ev'ry hand
Presseth hard the fray.
Lift the blood-stained banner high,
It must not touch the ground.
Preach the Foursquare Gospel with a certain sound!
On ever'ry hand,.....
Throughout the land,.....
The enemy is stirred.
But on we go......
Despite the foe,....
Till ev'ry man has heard.
Preach the word,
Preach the word,
Till the nations all have heard,
Preach it here,
Preach it there,
Till ev'ry land is stirred.
Preach the word,
Preach the word,
Marching up the Foursquare way.
We'll hold the Foursquare Fortress 'till the crowning day.
Behold the Foursquare faithful come, Day of Jubilee.
Marching up the blood bought way.
The Lord has set us free.
Songs of praise are ringing clear,
Darkness all is past.
Dawn is on the hillside, day is come at last!
Unto the north,.......
Unto the south,......
Sound the Foursquare message clear.
Unto the east,........
Unto the west,......
Till ev'ry man has heard.
Preach the word,
Preach the word,
Till the nations all have heard,
Preach it here,
Preach it there,
Till ev'ry land is stirred.
Preach the word,
Preach the word,
Marching up the Foursquare way.
We'll hold the Foursquare Fortress 'till the crowning day.
