11211. Jesus Leads His Army

1 Hark! a voice is calling,
"Who will go today?
Who My service seeking,
Will not say Me nay;
Who will bear My banner
Forward in the fight,
’Gainst My foes engaging,
Stand for truth and right?"

Refrain:
Jesus leads His army,
’Neath His flag unfurled,
All our foes defeating,
Right shall rule the world!

2 On God’s might relying
Till the victory’s won,
Satan’s host defeating,
Gird our armor on;
For the cause that’s holy,
For the right that’s grand,
For His warfare solely,
Join we heart and hand! [Refrain]

3 Hear the tramp of legions,
Marching as they sing,
Glory to our leader,
"Glory to our king";
One in holy purpose,
From the near and far,
Hear the voices ringing,
Marching to the war! [Refrain]
