The Conflict of the Ages

Lo

the con­flict of the ag­es

Is up­on us to­day

And the ar­mies are as­semb­ling

All in bat­tle ar­ray;

Are you num­bered with the faith­ful

One of God’s loy­al few

Who have sworn Him full al­le­giance?

Can He count up­on you?

Have your eyes caught the vi­sion?

Have your hearts felt the thrill?

To the call of the Mas­ter

Do you an­swer

I will?

For the con­flict of the ag­es

Told by pro­phets and by sag­es

In its fu­ry is up­on us

Is up­on us to­day.

Catch the vi­sion of a lost world

Going down­ward in sin

While the Mas­ter’s great com­mis­sion

Long un­heed­ed has been;

See the child­ren of the king­dom

Joined in heart and in hand

Pressing for­ward in the strug­gle

To re­deem this fair land.

See the Church of God awak­ing

And with glo­ri­ous zest

She is lay­ing on her al­tars

Now her nob­lest and blest;

T’ward the fi­nal con­sum­ma­tion

We are hast­en­ing on

And the time for loy­al serv­ice

Will for­ev­er be done.
