Men of Christ

Men of Christ stop your dreaming!
Can’t you see their weapons gleaming?
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battlefield!

Men of Christ stand you steady.
It cannot ever be said of you
For the battle, you were not ready.
Christians never yield!

From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Gospel’s call
The mighty force surrounding.

Men of Christ on to glory
This will ever be your story.
Keep these fighting words before you
Christians will not yield!

The original lyrics were “Men of Harlech” or “The March of the Men of Harlech” probably written and used as early as 1461 in Britain.  It is important for Welsh national culture and gained international recognition when it was featured in the 1941 movie How Green Was My Valley and the 1964 film Zulu. You can go to any search engine and find the audio to this song. Here I’m using it to promote the idea that we are in spiritual warfare and need to pay attention to the times we are living in.
