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?
