1 Christ is set on Zion's hill,
He receiveth sinners still;
To his feet your tribute bring,
Hail him your triumphant King.
Chorus:
Faithful soldiers, all shall be,
Faithful soldiers, all shall be
Happy in eternity.
2 Zion's King our Captain is,
Universal power is his;
Let the fiends of hell unite,
He will put them all to flight. [Chorus]
3 We by faith enlisted are
In the glorious gospel war;
Present pay we each receive,
And in bliss we all shall live. [Chorus]
4 When the mighty war is o'er
We shall live to die no more;
Live with Christ our Lord in heaven,
Crowns and thrones shall then be given. [Chorus]
5 Come, and join our martial band,
Bow to-day to Christ's command;
Gird the Christian armour on,
Wear it till the battle's won. [Chorus]
6 Come, ye guilty rebel race,
Take the Saviour's proffer'd grace;
Oh secure, while yet you may,
Pardon, peace, and victory. [Chorus]
