To arms! To arms! ye sol­diers,
The trum­pet call ob­ey!
Arise from drea­ry slum­bers
To watch, and fight, and pray.

Refrain

To arms! to arms! ye sol­diers,
The trum­pet call ob­ey!
With Je­sus as our lead­er,
We’re sure to win the day.

’Tis not to rest, or ban­quet,
Or proud pa­rade we go;
The fight of faith is fierc­er,
Than world­ly war­ri­ors know.

Refrain

Against the pow­ers of dark­ness
With fear­ful craft and rage,
Our hea­ven­ly cap­tain calls us
Incessant war to wage.

Refrain

We’ll bless Thee for the bat­tle,
We’ll glo­ry in the strife;
We’ll shout at call of trum­pet,
We’ll win eter­nal life.
