Hark! Listen to the Trumpeters

Hymnal: Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns #38 (1919) 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.

Hark! listen to the trumpeters

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #301 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Hark! listen to the trumpeters! They sound for volunteers! On Zion's bright and flowery mount Behold the officers— Their horses white, their garments bright With crown and bow they stand, Enlisting soldiers for their King, To march for Canaan's land. 2. It sets my heart all in a flame; A soldier I will be; I will enlist, gird on my arms, And fight for liberty. They want no cowards in their band, (They will their colors fly,) But call for valiant hearted men, Who're not afraid to die. 3. The armies now are in parade, How martial they appear! All armed and dressed in uniform, They look like men of war. They follow their great General, The great Eternal Lamb His garments stained with his own blood, King Jesus is his name. 4. The trumpet sounds, the armies shout, And drive the hosts of hell; How dreadful is our God in arms! The great Immanuel!— Sinners, enlist with Jesus Christ The eternal Son of God, And march with us to Canaan's land, Beyond the swelling flood. 5. there is a green and flowery field, Where fruits immortal grow; There, clothed in white, the angels bright Our great Redeemer know. We'll shout and sing for evermore In that eternal world; But Satan and his armies too, Shall down to hell be hurled. 6. Hold up your heads, ye soldiers bold, Redemption's drawing nigh We soon shall hear the trumpet sound 'Twill shake both earth and sky; In fiery chariots then we'll fly, And leave the world on fire And meet around the starry throne To tune the immortal lyre.
