At the Battle’s Front

I’ve en­list­ed for life

In the ar­my of the Lord

Tho’ the fight may be long

And the strug­gle fierce and hard;

With the ar­mor of God

And the Spir­it’s trus­ty sword

At the front of the bat­tle

You will find me.

Hear the tramp! tramp!

Tramping of the ar­my

The tri­umph shout­ing

The foe we’re rout­ing;

Hear the tramp! tramp!

Tramping of the ar­my

Marching on to vic­to­ry.

I’m in this ar­my

This glo­ri­ous ar­my

And the God of bat­tles

Will de­fend me

I’m in the ar­my

This glo­ri­ous ar­my

At the front of the bat­tle

You will find me.

With the ban­ner of love

And of ho­li­ness un­furled

Full sal­va­tion pro­claim

To a sin­ful

dy­ing world;

Tho’ the darts thick and fast

From the en­emy be hurled

At the front of the batt­le

You will find me.

Is your name

friend

en­rolled

With the loy­al ones and true?

Will you dare now to stand

With the Sav­ior’s faith­ful few?

Will you join with me now

And the co­ve­nant re­new?

At the front of the bat­tle

You will find me.
