Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13109 First Line: When the hosts of sin are marching Refrain First Line: Are you ready? Are you ready? Lyrics: 1 When the hosts of sin are marching With their weapons gleaming bright, With their banners boldly waving, All their forces in the fight; Then the army of Jehovah Keeps them faithfully in view, And the Lord will want a leader— He may call for you. Refrain: Are you ready? Are you ready? Will you nobly dare and do? Are you ready? Are you ready? God may call for you! 2 When the fortress is in danger, Watch the foe with ceaseless care; He will surely gain an entrance, If one traitor soul is there; He will tempt, and bribe, and threaten, Every evil art pursue! Then the Lord wants faithful servants— He may call for you. [Refrain] 3 There are soldiers who have never Seen the thickest of the fight, But in humble, cheerful service, They have kept the armor bright; Never weary, ever faithful, Glad to toil the whole day thro’, There is need of special workers— God may call for you. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the hosts of sin are marching]
