As A Volunteer

A call for loyal soldiers

Comes to one and all;

Soldiers for the conflict,

Will you heed the call?

Will you answer quickly,

With a ready cheer,

Will you be enlisted

As a volunteer?

Refrain

A volunteer for Jesus,

A soldier true!

Others have enlisted,

Why not you?

Jesus is the Captain,

We will never fear,

Will you be enlisted

As a volunteer?

Yes, Jesus calls for soldiers

Who are filled with pow'r,

Soldiers who will serve Him

Ev'ry day and hour;

He will not forsake you,

He is ever near;

Will you be enlisted

As a volunteer?

Refrain

He calls you, for He loves you

With a heart most kind,

He Whose heart was broken,

Broken for mankind;

Now, just now, He calls you,

Calls in accents clear,

Will you be enlisted

As a volunteer?

Refrain

And when the war is over,

And the vict'ry won,

When the true and faithful

Gather one by one,

He will crown with glory

All who there appear;

Will you be enlisted

As a volunteer?
