1 Hark! a voice is calling:
“Who will go today?
Who my service seeking,
Will not say me nay?
Who will hold my banner
Forward in the fight,
‘Gainst My foes engaging,
Stand for God and right?”

Refrain:
Jesus leads His army,
‘Neath His flag unfurled
All our foes defeating,
Right shall sweep the world!

2 On God’s might relying
Till the vict’ry’s won,
Satan’s host defying,
Gird our armor on;
For the cause that’s holy,
For the right that’s grand,
For God’s warfare solely,
Join we heart and hand! [Refrain]

3 Hear the tramp of legions,
Marching as they sing,
“Glory to our Leader,
Glory to our King;”
One in holy purpose,
From the near and far,
Hear the voices ringing,
Marching to the war! [Refrain]
