Appears in 80 hymnals First Line: Hark! listen to the trumpeters! Lyrics: 1. Hark! listen to the trumpeters!
They sound for volunteers,
On Zion's bright and flow'ry mount
Behold the officers
Their horses white, their armor bright,
With courage bold they stand,
Enlisting soldiers for their King,
To march to Zion's land.
2. It sets my heart all in aflame
A soldier brave to be;
I will enlist, gird on my arms
And fight for liberty
We want no cowards in our bands,
Who will our colors fly,
We call for valiant-hearted men,
Who're not afraid to die.
3. To see our armies on parade,
How martial they appear!
All armed and dress'd in uniform,
They look like men of war
They follow their great General,
The great Eternal Lamb;
His garments stain'd in His own blood,
King Jesus is His name.
4. The trumpets sound, the armies shout,
They drive the hosts of hell,
How dreadful is our God, our King,
The great Emanuel
Sinners, enlist with Jesus Christ,
Th'eternal Son of God,
And march with us to Zion's land,
Beyond the swelling flood. Used With Tune: [Hark! listen to the trumpeters!]
