11852. We'll go Out and Take The Land

1 Come, all ye Christian soldiers,
And form a mighty band,
Put on the Gospel armor,
Go forth and take the land;
Do battle for the Master,
His enemies pursue;
With Jesus for your captain,
Be strong, and brave, and true.

Refrain:
We’ll go out and take the land,
Behind His banner grand;
With Jesus as our captain,
We’ll go out and take the land.

2 The harvest now is ready,
And there is much to do;
Our numbers seem "so many,"
Still "laborers are few";
The souls of men are dying
Without a hope of life;
Then go ye forward, bravely
Contending in the strife. [Refrain]

3 Yes, bravely go ye forward,
It is the Lord’s command:
"Go out and teach all nations"
Of every name and land;
Go tell them of the Savior
Who died to set us free,
And offers full salvation
To sinners such as we. [Refrain]
