Recruiting Hymn

1 Brother soldier still fight on,
Till the battle thou hast won;
The great Captain thou didst choose,
Never did a battle lose.
We his soldiers sure shall be
Happy in eternity.

2 Advocates for sin do say
We can never win the day;
would discourage all the host,
Meanly yield--the battle's lost.
We his soldiers sure shall be
Happy in eternity.

3 They that do his host defy,
Shall before his presence fly;
If we on our Captain call,
They like Jericho shall fall.
We his soldiers sure shall be
Happy in eternity.

4 Still fight on and you shall see
All the sons of Anak flee,
Fear them not, tho' they be tall,
Our great Captain conquers all.
More than conquerors we shall be
Happy through eternity.
