Hark! a voice is calling,
Who will go today?
Who My service seeking,
Will not say Me nay;
Who will bear My banner
Forward in the fight,
’Gainst My foes engaging,
Stand for truth and right?
Refrain
Jesus leads His army,
’Neath His flag unfurled,
All our foes defeating,
Right shall rule the world!
On God’s might relying
Till the victory’s won,
Satan’s host defeating,
Gird our armor on;
For the cause that’s holy,
For the right that’s grand,
For His warfare solely,
Join we heart and hand!
Refrain
Hear the tramp of legions,
Marching as they sing,
Glory to our leader,
;
Glory to our king
One in holy purpose,
From the near and far,
Hear the voices ringing,
Marching to the war!
Refrain
