When the hosts of sin are march­ing
With their wea­pons gleam­ing bright,
With their ban­ners bold­ly wav­ing,
All their forc­es in the fight;
Then the ar­my of Je­ho­vah
Keeps them faith­ful­ly in view,
And the Lord will want a lead­er—
He may call for you.

Refrain

Are you rea­dy? Are you rea­dy?
Will you nob­ly dare and do?
Are you rea­dy? Are you rea­dy?
God may call for you!

When the fort­ress is in dan­ger,
Watch the foe with cease­less care;
He will sure­ly gain an en­trance,
If one trai­tor soul is there;
He will tempt, and bribe, and threat­en,
Every ev­il art pur­sue!
Then the Lord wants faith­ful serv­ants—
He may call for you.

Refrain

There are sol­diers who have nev­er
Seen the thick­est of the fight,
But in hum­ble, cheer­ful serv­ice,
They have kept the ar­mor bright;
Never wea­ry, ev­er faith­ful,
Glad to toil the whole day thro’,
There is need of spe­cial work­ers—
God may call for you.
