13202. The Army Of Redemption

1 Will you follow the lead of the glorified One,
While the host sings His praise as they now march along?
In the land of Judea the march was begun,
And the earth now is girdled with song.

2 Will you follow the lead of the glorified king?
For this leader of hosts is the Ancient of Days;
Will you now tune your voices His glory to sing,
As the earth now is girdled with praise.

3 Will you follow the lead of the glorified Son,
As His army is marching to strive for the right?
For the darkness is waning, the day is begun,
And the earth now is girdled with light.

4 Will you follow the lead of the crucified Lord,
As His army advances prepared for the strife,
With the sword of the Spirit, His own spoken word?
All the earth now is girdled with life.
