The very idea of “church militant” sends liberals scurrying for their Play-Doh: they think the church should apologize for existing.
So here’s a hymn of the church militant–Sound the Battle Cry, performed by the students from Fountainview Academy on a visit to Prague.
It’s long past time for the spirit of this hymn to kick back into the church–Am I a Soldier of the Cross?, written in 1724 by Isaac Watts, sung here by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Do we fear to own Christ’s cause, or blush to speak His name? How badly do we crave the good opinion of a fallen world?
