153. Saved to Serve

1 We are Christian soldiers
Pledged to loyalty;
Since the Christ redeemed us,
Saved to serve are we;
Now He calls to battle,
Fiercer grows the fray;
True to Christ in all things,
Swiftly we obey.

Refrain:
We are Christian soldiers,
Pledged to loyalty;
Since the Christ redeemed us,
Saved to serve are we.

2 ‘Tis the day prophetic,
‘Tis the Spirit’s hour;
Sons and daughters waking
‘Neath His mighty power;
Youthful armies gather,
Visions now they see;
On! the God of Heaven
Sends the victory. [Refrain]

3 Marching to the conflict,
Loyal, young and strong,
Trained to serve the Master,—
Shall the strife be long?
Yielding to the Spirit,
Heeding each command,
See the foe’s confusion!
Triumph is at hand. [Refrain]
