The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#45

45. Wont you volunteer

1 Come boys, Come girls, wont you volunteer,
If you'd reign in heaven above, you must battle here
Say not, Say not we are weak and few,
Only battle for the right, God will strengthen you.

Chorus:
March on, march on, singing as you go,
March on, March on, do not fear the foe,
March on, March on, singing as you go,
March on, March on, do not fear the foe.

2 Come boys, Come girls, wont you volunteer,
Youthful soldiers of the cross to our ranks repair.
List not, List not to the world and sin,
Turn away from foes without, and from foes within. [Chorus]

3 Come boys, Come girls, wont you volunteer,
Jesus bought you with his blood, how can you forbear,
Sinful, dying, to your help he flew,
Wont you love and live for him who has died for you. [Chorus]

4 Come boys, Come girls, wont you volunteer,
Soon the victory shall be yours, if you persevere,
Singing, shining on a heavenly throne,
You shall strike a harp of gold, and wear a golden crown. [Chorus]
