1 ¡Oh! Jóvenes venid, su brillante pabellón,
Cristo ha desplegado ante la nación.
A todos en sus filas os quiere recibir,
Y con el a la pelea os hará salir.
Refrain:
¡Vamos a Jesús, alistados sin temor,
Vamos a la lid, inflamados de valor!
Jóvenes, luchemos todos contra el mal:
En Jesús llevamos nuestro general.
2 ¡Oh! Jóvenes venid, el Caudillo Salvador,
Quiere recibiros en su derredor;
Con él a la batalla salid sin vacilar,
Vamos pronto compañeros, vamos a luchar. [Refrain]
3 Las armas invencibles del Jefe guiador,
Son el evangelio y su grande amor;
Con ellas revestidos y llenos de poder,
Compañeros, acudamos, vamos a vencer. [Refrain]
4 Los fieros enemigos, engendros de Satán,
Se hallan sostenidos por su capitán;
¡Oh! Jóvenes vosotros poneos sin temor
A la diestra del Caudillo nuestro Salvador. [Refrain]
5 Quien venga a la pelea, su voz escuchará;
Cristo la victoria le concederá;
Salgamos compañeros, luchemos bien por él;
Con Jesús conquistaremos inmortal laurel. [Refrain]
