This day’s a day of battle
We walk on alien ground
With many souls in danger
Where deadly foes abound.
There’s many a weary soldier
And many a weeping eye
“O God we pray, deliver!
Hearken and hear our cry.”

For brethren now in peril
For visions that are dim
For serving hearts sore stricken
O Lord, we pray for them
We seek their hands to strengthen
We come to bring them nigh
“O God we pray, deliver!
Hearken and hear our cry.”

Now lift your voice before Him
For prayer shall win the day
The enemy shall be routed
The Lord’s our strength and stay.
Today’s a day of battle
And yet the victory’s nigh
“O God we pray, deliver!
Hearken and hear our cry.”

Prayer is our life-line, brother,
The battle waxes sore
And yet our God is near us
He’ll help us more and more.
For us prayer wins the battle
Lift up your prayer on high
“O God we pray, deliver!
Hearken and hear our cry.”
