24. To Arms, Ye Loyal Soldiers

1 To arms, to arms, ye loyal ones!
O hear the Captain’s call,
Step into line with willing hearts,
He needs you one and all.
The hosts of sin are gath’ring ‘round,
‘Tis forward thro’ the world,
A band of valiant ones and true,
With banners bright unfurled.

Chorus:
To arms! to arms! O hear the Captain calling,
Away, away His pow’r will make you strong,
To arms! to arms! the world must be His kingdom
Go forth, go forth, the Christ shall be your song.

2 To arms! to arms to conquer wrong,
The cry is “no retreat!”
Who battle for the loving God
will never fear defeat.
Jehovah’s flag must gleam afar
From ev’ry mountain height,
Then forward all who love His Name
Keep up the glorious fight. [Chorus]

3 To arms! to arms! the vict’ry’s sure,
Go claim the great reward,
A crown of righteousness He gives
To those who serve the Lord.
From darkness into heaven’s light
The nations must be led,
Your great Commander leads the way,
He bears the cross ahead. [Chorus]
