1 When the hosts of sin are marching
With their weapons gleaming bright,
With their banners boldly waving,
All their forces in the fight;
Then the army of Jehovah
Keeps them faithfully in view,
And the Lord will want a leader—
He may call for you.

Refrain:
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Will you nobly dare and do?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
God may call for you!

2 When the fortress is in danger,
Watch the foe with ceaseless care;
He will surely gain an entrance,
If one traitor soul is there;
He will tempt, and bribe, and threaten,
Every evil art pursue!
Then the Lord wants faithful servants—
He may call for you. [Refrain]

3 There are soldiers who have never
Seen the thickest of the fight,
But in humble, cheerful service,
They have kept the armor bright;
Never weary, ever faithful,
Glad to toil the whole day thro’,
There is need of special workers—
God may call for you. [Refrain]
