Representative Text

1 We’ve heard the call to rally, and we hasten to obey;
When Jesus needs our service, we will heed without delay;
Redeemed with His own precious blood on rugged Calvary,
We yield our all to Him.

Refrain:
"Rally!" is our watchword, "Rally" is our song!
All our time and all our power to Christ belong!
Rally, then with gladness, rally with a cheer,
We shall win the battle, for our captain’s near!

2 We’ll gather ’round His banner, glorious emblem of the right,
The symbol of His truth and love, agleam with holy light;
We’ll challenge ev’ryevil, we will battle in His might,
And victory shall be ours. [Refrain]

3 We’ll help to save the fallen from the snares of doubt and sin,
We’ll teach the youth to spurn the wrong and choose the pure and clean;
We’ll go in Jesus’ precious name and bring the world to Him,
And crown Him Lord for aye. [Refrain]
