A call for loy­al sol­diers
Comes to one and all;
Soldiers for the con­flict,
Will you heed the call?
Will you an­swer quick­ly,
With a rea­dy cheer,
Will you be en­list­ed
As a vo­lun­teer?

Refrain

A vo­lun­teer for Je­sus,
A sol­dier true!
Others have en­list­ed,
Why not you?
Jesus is the Cap­tain,
We will ne­ver fear,
Will you be en­list­ed
As a vo­lun­teer?

Yes, Je­sus calls for sol­diers
Who are filled with pow’r,
Soldiers who will serve Him
Ev’ry day and hour;
He will not for­sake you,
He is ev­er near;
Will you be en­list­ed
As a vo­lun­teer?

Refrain

He calls you, for He loves you
With a heart most kind,
He whose heart was brok­en,
Broken for man­kind;
Now, just now, He calls you,
Calls in ac­cents clear,
Will you be en­list­ed
As a vo­lunteer?

Refrain

And when the war is ov­er,
And the vic­t’ry won,
When the true and faith­ful
Gather one by one,
He will crown with glo­ry
All who there ap­pear;
Will you be en­list­ed
As a vo­lun­teer?
