God’s trumpet is sounding, “To arms!” is the call, More warriors are wanted to help on the war; My King’s in the battle, He’s calling for me, A salvation soldier for Jesus I’ll be.
On land and on water my colors I’ll show, Through ten thousand battles with Jesus I’ll go; In danger I’m certain He’ll take care of me, His blood-and-fire soldier forever I’ll be.
When foes persecute me I’ll not be dismayed— Sin, death, hell, and fiends shall not make me afraid; From fearing and doubting I’m fully set free, A salvation soldier for God I will be.
I’ll fight to the last with the Lord’s sword and shield, And count it an honor to die in the field; In death and the grave there is vict’ry for me, A salvation soldier in glory I’ll be.
