28. The Lord Needs You

1 Hark! there’s a call from the front today,
Will you enlist for the coming fray?
Bravely go forth loyal men and true,
Step into line, for the Lord needs you.

Chorus:
It’s true that the Lord needs you,
Go forth He will help you through,
Enlist for the right, press on to the fight,
For surely the Lord needs you.

2 Be not dismayed when you face the foe,
On with a cheer, for your Captain go,
Trust in the strength that is sure to win,
Keep up the fight ‘till He calls you in. [Chorus]

3 Follow with joy as He leads the way,
Soon shall the world own His mighty sway,
Be not afraid, He will help you through,
Press on ahead, for the Lord needs you. [Chorus]
