84. In the Ranks

1 In the ranks of Christ we stand
With the Savior’s noble band,
Joining with them hand in hand
To defend the truth and right
Touched by holy heavenly love,
“In His name” we forward move.
Praying to our God above
To aid us with His might.

Refrain:
In the ranks of Christ we stand
With the Savior’s noble band,
Joining with them hand in hand
To defend the truth and right!

2 To the homes of want and woe,
To the weary here below,
Some in Jesus’ name must go,
Thinking not of wealth or fame;
There for Jesus they must stand,
Lending all a “helping hand,”
Thus fulfilling Christ’s command,
The gospel to proclaim. [Refrain]

3 O the blessed Lord of light,
From yon palaces of white
Giving courage in the fight
To the soldiers true and brave.
We will serve Him here below,
“In His name” still forward go,
Till the world His love shall know,
And Jesus’ power to save. [Refrain]
