we have answered the summons

We have answered the summons

and joined in the fight;

we are soldiers in battle for God

and the right;

with our Captain to lead us we

fear not the foe,

for His strength is sufficient to carry us through.




We shall win! we shall win!

We shall win! we shall win!

We will trust! We will pray!

And battle for the Lord our King.




Though the night may be dark

and the fight may be long,

yet the tumult of warfare shall

change into song

when the strongholds of darkness

and evil shall fall,

and our Lord shall be Conqueror

and reign over all.




See the millions that stray from

the way of the Lord,

caring nought for His wrath and

defying His word,

casting scorn on our Saviour,

despising His blood!

Will you not, then, enlist in the battle for God?




Come and join in the fight!

There are foes you must meet;

there are rebels and scoffers to

bring to His feet;

there is work for you all, and your strength is secure;

there's a crown for the victor, and victory is sure.
