1 Who will join the noble army
Of the mighty King of kings,
When the battle-cry is sounding
And the song of triumph rings?
Refrain:
Who will follow—
Who will follow,
Where His banners proudly wave,
Soldiers of the cross of Jesus
And the cause He died to save?
2 Onward, Christians, strong and earnest,
Bear the sword of truth and right!
Come, while fires of youth are burning,
Come, while shines the morning light! [Refrain]
3 In His Name, for right and justice,
Now advance, ye soldiers true!
In His Name, and for His glory
Wake the battle-song anew! [Refrain]
4 All for Christ and His sweet service,
Young and old, we enter in!
In His Name, so strong and holy,
All who bravely fight will win! [Refrain]
