Lyrics
1. Hope of Israel, Zions army, children of the promised day,
See, the Chieftain signals onward, and the battles in array!
[Chorus]
Hope of Israel, rise in might with the sword of truth and right;
Sound the war-cry, Watch and pray! Vanquish evry foe today.
2. See the foe in countless numbers, marshaled in the ranks of sin.
Hope of Israel, on to battle; now the victry we must win!
[Chorus]
3. Strike for Zion, down with error; flash the sword above the foe!
Evry stroke disarms a foeman; evry step we conqring go.
[Chorus]
4. Soon the battle will be over; evry foe of truth be down.
Onward, onward, youth of Zion; thy reward the victors crown.
[Chorus]
