Author: F. G. Burroughs Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Soldiers of th'Sunday-school army Refrain First Line: Show your weapons boldly, soldiers Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of th' Sunday-school army,
Stand equipped in bright array!
God is calling forth the loyal
To protect his holy day.
Chorus:
Show your weapons boldly, soldiers,
Make God's word your trusted sword;
While he trumpets, "keep my Sabbaths!"
Shout ye all, "We will, dear Lord!"
2 Soldiers of th' Sunday-school army,
See the ranks of sin draw near,
Striving to annul God's precepts,
And destroy his day, so dear! [Chorus]
3 Soldiers of th' Sunday-school army,
Rear ye not the foe's alarm;
Though a host encamp against you,
You may shield God's day from harm. [Chorus]
4 Soldiers of th' Sunday-school army,
Rouse ye in this time of need;
Hold aloft your Lord's commandments,
Keep his day in truth and deed. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Soldiers of th'Sunday-school army]
Keep My Sabbaths
