The Bugle Call

Hear the bu­gle call­ing

Come with­out de­lay;

Every man be rea­dy

For the fight to­day.

Do not sleep in dan­ger

Do not he­si­tate;

Rouse you up

O sol­di­ers

For the foe is great.

Hear the bu­gle call­ing

Calling you and me;

Awake

ye sol­diers of the cross!

Hear the bu­gle call­ing

Calling you and me

Come with­out de­lay;

Rouse you up

O sol­diers

For the fight to­day!

Hear the bu­gle call­ing

Time is go­ing fast;

Men are dy­ing ’round you

Life will soon be past!

Seize the mo­ment quick­ly

Speak the word just now;

Trust the Lord to guide you

He will show you how.

Hear the bu­gle call­ing;

See

it calls for you!

Don’t say there are oth­ers

That will nev­er do.

For your place

my bro­ther

Others can not fill;

You must do your du­ty

Do it with a will.

O

if some poor sin­ner

Looking now to thee

Should be lost for­ev­er

To eter­ni­ty

Could you clear your con­science

Of the blood of men?

At the bar of Je­sus

Can you meet it then?
