1 Out where the banner of Jesus leads,
We’ll follow, follow,
Bearing relief for a thousand needs,
For he who battles in that Name succeeds.

Refrain:
We will follow at the King’s command,
In His line we’ll take our stand,
Like true soldiers, bravely we will fight,
“For God and right,”
Ah, yes, we’ll gladly follow, when the tiding ring,
From each heart quick answers spring,
“Anywhere, wherever I am needed,
I will follow, follow Christ my King.”

2 On where the trumpets of Jesus call,
We’ll follow, follow,
Quick as the notes of the summons fall,
We’ll rise and follow, for they speak to all. [Refrain]

3 Yes, when the voice of Jesus speaks,
We’ll follow, follow,
Gladly we’ll give the response He seeks,
We’ll brave rough waters, climb the mountain peaks. [Refrain]
