76. A Volunteer

A call for loyal soldiers comes to one and all; soldiers for the conflict, will you heed the call?  Will you answer quickly, with a ready cheer, will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!  Others have enlisted, why not you?  Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear, will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

Yes, Jesus calls for soldiers who are filled with pow’r, soldiers who will serve him ev’ry day and hour; He will not forsake you, he is ever-near; will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!  Others have enlisted, why not you?  Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear, will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

3.

He calls you, for he loves you with a heart most kind, he whose heart was broken, broken for mankind; Now, just now, he calls you, calls in accents clear, will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!  Others have enlisted, why not you?  Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear, will you be enlisted as a volunteer?

And when the war is over, and the vict’ry won, when the true and faithful gather one by one, He will crown with glory all who there appear; will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
