lyrics
The ground is hard beneath our feet
The sky is cold and wide
We know the cost of what we keep
We know the reason why
No shouting now, no empty cry
No boast before the blade
We breathe as one, we hold our ground
We stand as we were made
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel is ready, hearts are still
The hour waits our word
[Chorus]
Stand the line, hold fast, stay true
Not by strength, but called
We lift our eyes, we set our hope
On the Lord of all
Hand to hand and shield to shield
We will not give way
We stand the line until the end
Come what may
[Verse 2]
We are the sons of faithful men
The daughters of the brave
Who worked the land, who prayed in tears
And taught us how to stand
They did not run when night fell hard
They did not curse the dark
They trusted God with what they bore
And carried on their mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear may whisper, death may shout
But truth is not deterred
[Chorus]
Stand the line, hold fast, stay true
Not by strength, but called
We lift our eyes, we set our hope
On the Lord of all
Hand to hand and shield to shield
We will not give way
We stand the line until the end
Come what may
[Bridge]
If we fall, we fall in faith
If we live, we live the same
Our breath is His, our days are known
No ground is given vain
No crown is taken in this hour
No song is sung for pride
We fight to keep what we were given
And trust Him with the tide
[Final Chorus]
Stand the line, hold fast, stay true
The night will break with dawn
The Lord of Hosts goes on before
The battle is not won
Hand to hand and shield to shield
Until the field is stayed
We stand the line until we’re called
Or victory is made
