Refrain: The Captain’s call obey, Tho the foe be fierce and strong, Enlist while now you may, to the righteous band belong; No thought of a retreat as the Leader’s face you see, But march a firm united ban on to victory. 2 ‘Tis the fight for love we enter at the call of Him who died, Of the right a stern defender ‘gainst the ranks of sinful pride; And the issues are eternal, so we fight with might and main, We have nothing now to lose but ev’rything to gain. [Refrain] 3 May this call to love and service spur you on to action now, And in heartfelt consecration at the cross of Calv’ry bow; Only then will you be able to defeat God’s greatest foe, To the conquest of the hosts of darkness forward go.
