A Call for Help

At home and abroad

on life’s bat­tle­field

Brave sol­diers are need­ed their serv­ice to yield

For Je­sus who died that all might have life.

Come en­ter the bat­tle

be bold in the strife.

The trum­pet is sound­ing

we’re off to the fray

Immanuel’s ban­ner we’ll lift up to­day.

Then on­ward

still on­ward in His name we go

Till all of His crea­tures the Lord’s name will know.

Our cap­tain is call­ing for vol­un­teers now

Let all to His man­dates sub­miss­ive­ly bow;

Not life and not friends let any hold dear

While cries of the needy break out on your ear.

Oh

who then will go in the strength of the Lord

Uplifting His ban­ner

pro­claim­ing His word?

Who will help to re­deem dy­ing souls from the grave

In tell­ing of Je­sus

the migh­ty to save?
