In these days when truth and er­ror
Battle fierce­ly for the soul,
We should show our co­lors brave­ly:
Form in line and call the roll!

Refrain

Who is in God’s migh­ty ar­my?
Call the roll, call the roll!
Sound the sig­nal; form in co­lumn:
Call the roll, call the roll!

In these days none can be neu­tral,
Each will yield to some con­trol;
Zion needs to know her sol­diers—
Halt the ranks, and call the roll!

Refrain

Sound the bu­gle for the mus­ter!
Summon every faith­ful soul!
Mighty is the com­ing con­flict;
Ere it op­ens, call the roll!

Refrain

On the march some souls have fall­en,
And have crossed be­yond the goal;
Some were faith­less and de­sert­ed,
Who are left? now call the roll!

Refrain

Promptly an­swer to the roll call,
Ye, His faith­ful sol­diers all;
Underneath His con­quer­ing ban­ner
Rally now, and call the roll!
