Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One ‎#11

11. Fill Up the Rank

There is room for all in the army of the Lord,
For all the brave hearts and true;
Who will lend a hand, who’ll obey His blest command,
Willing to dare and to do.

Chorus:
Fill up the ranks,
Fill up the ranks,
Fill up the ranks for the fray;
For the cause will win and dispel the hosts of sin,
Fill up the ranks today.

Hearts that falter not in the thickest of the fight,
Trusting in strength of the Lord;
Hands to do His will and His ev’ry wish fulfill,
Guided by God’s holy word.

While our Captain calls there is work for ev’ry one,
Quick let us follow all the way;
With the hosts of sin, our blest land encamped within,
There is no time for delay.

On to vict’ry then in the name of Christ our King,
He who o’ercometh ev’ry foe,
Will our leader be, and His glory we shall see,
When truth shall reign here below.
