| Tune: | [Will you come and join our army?] |
| Composer: | F. Spaulding |
1 Will you come and join our army?
Will you fight for God and Truth?
Will you come? He calls for soldiers,
Give to him your early youth.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, we are marching on,
Glory, glory, shall be all our song.
We are loyal soldiers,
Under Christ's command;
Ours the blood stained banner
Of Immanuel's land.
2 We have girded on the armor
Of the holy word of God,
We are marching upward, onward,
in the way the saints have trod. [Chorus]
3 'Tis our Lord who is our captain,
And with him we cannot fail,
Even when the fight is hottest
And our crafty foes assail. [Chorus]
4 He will give us grace to conquer,
He will keep our souls from harm,
When the conflict rages hottest,
By his own almighty arm. [Chorus]
5 We shall be at last triumphant,
We shall wear the victor's crown,
And within the holy city
We shall lay our armor down. [Chorus]
