The Evergreen ‎#68

68. Volunteer For Jesus

1 Come, volunteer for Jesus,
Come, battle for the Lord,
A golden crown of glory
Will be your sure reward.

Chorus:
Come, volunteer, Oh, volunteer,
For Jesus volunteer,
And when the armor you lay down,
You'll wear a golden crown.

2 The battle rages fiercely,
Against the hosts of sin;
With Jesus as our Captain,
We'll surely, surely win. [Chorus]

3 Come, volunteer for Jesus,
Come, battle for the right,
We'll march to certain triumph,
And put the foe to flight. [Chorus]

4 Come, take a stand for Jesus,
Enlist in early youth,
Stand firmly for your Saviour,
For Heaven, and for truth. [Chorus]
