1 There’s a joyful chorus sounding
In the army of the King
‘Tis the love of God abounding
Makes the hallelujahs ring;
Ev’ry voice is joined in praising,
In a glad exultant lay
In the hallelujah ranks today.

Chorus:
In the hallelujah ranks I am standing today,
I am ready for the coming fray;
Praise the Lord for saving grace,
That upholds me in my place
In the hallelujah ranks today.

2 Now the bugle notes are pealing
And the marching orders come,
Ev’ry soldier now rejoices,
For he’ll soon be marching home;
There’s no foe that can defeat them,
Whom the Savior leads away
In the hallelujah ranks today. [Chorus]

3 Would you know why they’re rejoicing?
Their Redeemer goes before.
And they follow on to Canaan,
There to rest forevermore;
For His presence is assurance,
That we’ll ever keep the way
In the hallelujah ranks today. [Chorus]
