As a Volunteer

A call for loy­al sol­diers

Comes to one and all;

Soldiers for the con­flict

Will you heed the call?

Will you an­swer quick­ly

With a rea­dy cheer

Will you be en­list­ed

As a vo­lun­teer?

A vo­lun­teer for Je­sus

A sol­dier true!

Others have en­list­ed

Why not you?

Jesus is the Cap­tain

We will nev­er fear

Will you be en­list­ed

As a vo­lun­teer?

Yes

Je­sus calls for sol­diers

Who are filled with pow’r

Soldiers who will serve Him

Ev’ry day and hour;

He will not for­sake you

He is ev­er near;

Will you be en­list­ed

As a vo­lun­teer?

He calls you

for He loves you

With a heart most kind

He whose heart was brok­en

Broken for man­kind;

Now

just now

He calls you

Calls in ac­cents clear

Will you be en­list­ed

As a vo­lunteer?

And when the war is ov­er

And the vic­t’ry won

When the true and faith­ful

Gather one by one

He will crown with glo­ry

All who there ap­pear;

Will you be en­list­ed

As a vo­lun­teer?
