Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #93 (1910) Lyrics: 1 Enlist in the army of Jesus, To join in the conflict with sin; Go forth with true faith, the divine Leader saith, And trophies of victory win. Refrain: Enlist in the army of Jesus, Enlist as his soldier today; The sword you must wield, take the helmet and shield, The bugle now calls you away. 2 Enlist in the ranks of the faithful, Who, trusting in Jesus’ name, fight; With them bravely go, and, confronting the foe, Be valiant for truth and the right. [Refrain] 3 Enlist ‘neath the glorious standard That bears the blood-stains of the cross; That banner unfurled shall wave over the world, Secure from defeat and from loss. [Refrain] 4 Enlist, and when warfare is ended, Rejoicing, your weapons lay down; Eternity’s peace from all strife brings release, And victors shall gain a bright crown. [Refrain] Topics: Decision Day; Rally Day; Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: [Enlist in the army of Jesus]
