As a Volunteer
Words by W.S. Brown
Music by Charles H. Gabriel
Revelation 14:12
"Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
A call for loyal soldiers comes to one and all;
Soldiers for the conflict, Will you heed the call?
Will you answer quickly, with a ready cheer,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
Chorus
A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!
Others have enlisted, why not you?
Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
Yes, Jesus calls for soldiers who are filled with pow'r,
Soldiers who will serve Him ev'ry day and hour;
He will not forsake you, He is ever near;
Will you be enlistedaas a volunteer?
Chorus
A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!
Others have enlisted, why not you?
Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
He calls you, for He loves you with a heart most kind,
He whose heart was broken, broken for mankind;
Now, just now, He calls you, calls in accents clear,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
Chorus
A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!
Others have enlisted, why not you?
Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
And when the war is over, and the vict'ry won,
When the true and faithful gather one by one,
He will crown with glory all who there appear;
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
Chorus
A volunteer for Jesus, a soldier true!
Others have enlisted, why not you?
Jesus is the Captain, we will never fear,
Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?
