The Roll Call Here

Hear the order of the Cap­tain call­ing

Time will soon be o’er

Many sol­diers He must have

From far and near;

There are souls in sin and dark­ness

And for them the cross He bore;

Come

my com­rade

now fall in

And an­swer Here!

Volunteer

vol­un­teer

an­swer

Here! here! here!

Quickly speak loud and clear

I am here! here! here!

’Tis the Cap­tain’s great com­mand

Quickly step and ral­ly near

For the bat­tle rag­es ov­er all the land.

See the ea­ger hosts of Sa­tan

Gath’ring round on ev­ery hand;

For our sons and daugh­ters

They are fierce and strong;

To the cen­ter

ral­ly! ral­ly!

Hear the voice of Christ’s com­mand

Answer Here! and vol­un­teer

To fight the wrong.

When we meet for co­ro­na­tion

Of the faith­ful ov­er there

Shall the Sav­ior

sitt­ing on

His judg­ment throne

Say

I know you not

de­sert­er

You are not a right­ful heir

For My lost and hun­gry ones

You left alone.

Time for shout­ing and re­joic­ing

When the vic­to­ry is won

When God’s ris­en saints are

Waiting in the air

But the time is now for act­ion

And hard fight­ing must be done

Ere the roll is called up yon­der

Over there.
