147. Jesus Loves a Volunteer

1 Jesus loves a volunteer;
Who’ll be one?
Who’ll be one?
Willing feet, with heart sincere—
Is there none?
Is there none?

2 Faithful soldiers He doth need,
Brave and true,
Brave and true,
Loyal both in word and deed;
Why not you?
Why not you?

3 Calling now His ranks to fill,
Heed the cry,
Heed the cry;
Yielding, answer, “Yes, I will;
Here am I,
Here am I.”

4 Vict’ries on His banners wait;
Yes, ‘tis so,
Yes, ‘tis so;
Marching thro’ the pearly gate,
You will know,
You will know.
