Marching orders

1 Like the warriors of old we’re enlisted today,
Under Christ, the mighty Captain, driving sin away;
In his armor we’re clad, at his word we obey,
And we’re ready when our marching orders come.

Refrain:
Then we fall in line, as our Captain’s voice we hear,
At his welcome sign in his presence we appear,
While a shout of ringing triumph echoes far and near,
When our marching orders come. [Refrain]

2 With his word for our sword, with our faith for a shield,
Ev’ry enemy we’ll conquer, ev’ry foe will yield;
All the weapons of truth he has taught us to wield,
And to answer when our marching orders come. [Refrain]

3 So we serve him with joy and we trust in his might,
And we welcome ev’ry conflict in the cause of right;
In the praise of his name all his soldiers unite,
As we gather when our marching orders come. [Refrain]
