1 Volunteers are wanted! hear the stirring call,
O be swift to answer, comrades, one and all;
Girding on your armor, haste to march away,
For the Lord is calling,
To the front today!

Refrain:
Away to the battlefield, away, away!
The King calls for soldiers in His ranks today;
Hear the bugles calling, into line be falling,
Forth to the battlefield, away, away!

2 Volunteers are wanted! valiant men and true,
In the ranks, my brother, there is room for you;
Christ is the commander, let us all obey
When He gives the order,
To the front today! [Refrain]

3 Volunteers are wanted! for on land and sea
Satan’s starving bondmen clamor to be free;
Hasten to their rescue; if you still delay
Blood-bought souls must perish,
To the front today! [Refrain]

4 Volunteers are wanted! on the battle plain
Soldiers brave are falling, ne’er to fight again;
Who will take their places in the deadly fray?
Who will march with Jesus
To the front today? [Refrain]
