Lyrics

The world must be tak­en for Je­sus,
Come, en­ter His army to­day;
There’s need of the true-heart­ed sol­diers,
For migh­ty is Sa­tan’s ar­ray.

Refrain

Enlist! En­list!
Enlist in His ar­my to­day;
The world must be tak­en for Je­sus,
Enlist in His ar­my to­day.

The world must be tak­en for Je­sus,
O hast­en and fall in­to line;
Though migh­ty the foe, we shall con­quer,
Led on by the Cap­tain di­vine.

Refrain

The world must be tak­en for Je­sus,
The strong­holds of Sa­tan must yield;
Go for­ward with cour­age un­fail­ing,
And nev­er re­treat from the field.
