Hail! Glorious Army

Christ has called to serv­ice

Every youth to­day;

Hark! the host ad­vanc­es

Join them in the way.

With a vi­sion glor­ious

Steps are quick and strong;

From the hills of glo­ry

Christ com­mands the throng.

Hail! glor­ious ar­my!

Be strong and true

Laud

praise your cap­tain

Who leads you through.

Keep on re­cruit­ing

Seek men ev­ery­where

Christ will sure­ly save

Give them crowns to wear.

Time for pray­er most ear­nest

You must have

or fail;

Go with trust and cour­age

Satan’s host shall quail.

With the hope of tri­umph

Onward press to­day;

Gird thy sac­red pow­ers

There in­to the fray.

Heed ye ev­ery or­der

Keep up­on the line

Grasp the sword of spir­it

Victory is thine.

Blessèd is the serv­ice

Sweet the dai­ly joy

Bright the bless­èd fu­ture

While in Christ’s em­ploy.
