To Arms! To Arms! Ye Soldiers!

To arms! To arms! ye sol­diers

The trum­pet call ob­ey!

Arise from drea­ry slum­bers

To watch

and fight

and pray.

To arms! to arms! ye sol­diers

The trum­pet call ob­ey!

With Je­sus as our lead­er

We’re sure to win the day.

’Tis not to rest

or ban­quet

Or proud pa­rade we go;

The fight of faith is fierc­er

Than world­ly war­ri­ors know.

Against the pow­ers of dark­ness

With fear­ful craft and rage

Our heav­en­ly cap­tain calls us

Incessant war to wage.

We’ll bless Thee for the bat­tle

We’ll glo­ry in the strife;

We’ll shout at call of trum­pet

We’ll win eter­nal life.
