Lyrics

Rally, sol­diers, one and all,
Haste to an­swer du­ty’s call;
Where our lead­er bids us follow
We will go with­out de­lay.

Refrain

Up the mount­ain’s rug­ged steep,
O’er the ocean vast and deep,
Where our lead­er bids us fol­low
We will go with­out de­lay.

Rally, sol­diers, one and all,
Hear the Gos­pel trum­pet call;
Bravely, nob­ly fight the bat­tles
Of our Lord and Sav­ior-King.

Refrain

Rally, sol­diers, one and all,
We must nei­ther faint nor fall;
If we hope to wear tri­um­phant
Crowns of glo­ry in the sky.
