Volunteers, to the Front!

Volunteers are want­ed! hear the stir­ring call

O be swift to an­swer

com­rades

one and all;

Girding on your ar­mor

haste to march away

For the Lord is call­ing

To the front to­day!

Away to the bat­tle­field

away

away!

The King calls for sol­diers in His ranks to­day;

Hear the bu­gles call­ing

in­to line be fall­ing

Forth to the bat­tle­field

away

away!

Volunteers are want­ed! val­iant men and true

In the ranks

my bro­ther

there is room for you;

Christ is the com­mand­er

let us all ob­ey

When He gives the or­der

To the front to­day!

Volunteers are want­ed! for on land and sea

Satan’s starv­ing bond­men cla­mor to be free;

Hasten to their res­cue; if you still de­lay

Blood-bought souls must per­ish

To the front to­day!

Volunteers are want­ed! on the bat­tle plain

Soldiers brave are fall­ing

ne’er to fight again;

Who will take their plac­es in the dead­ly fray?

Who will march with Je­sus

To the front to­day?
