A Place in the Ranks for You

1 Arouse, ye Christian soldiers,
Equip ye for the fight;
Behold the hosts of evil
Arrayed against the right;
The battle lines are forming,
And o’er the hills afar,
With crash and peal incessant,
Resounds the din of war.

Refrain:
There’s a place in the ranks for you,
A place in the ranks for you,
With the brave and true who are going thro’,
There’s a place in the ranks for you;
There’s a place in the ranks for you,
A place in the ranks for you,
With the brave and true who are going thro’,
There’s a place in the ranks for you.

2 Put on the gospel armor,
Go with the Spirit’s sword
And helmet of salvation
To battle for the Lord;
No foe can stand before you
When thus with might arrayed;
The God of hosts is with you,
Then be ye not dismayed. [Refrain]

3 With awful devastation,
Great fields are lying waste,
And for their reclamation,
God bids his armies haste;
Your strength may be but feeble,
Your talents may be few,
But in the gospel army
There is a place for you. [Refrain]
