Author: Charlotte G. Homer Appears in 7 hymnals Refrain First Line: On to the front like soldiers Lyrics: 1 Enlisted for the King, With loyalty we bring Allegiance to the Christ For sinners sacrificed; His call to arms we heeded, For soldiers brave are needed Where foes, in mighty pow’r revealed, Encamp upon the field. Refrain: On to the front like soldiers, Determined the fight to win; Faith in the King Eternal, Will conquer the hosts of sin; Under the banner glorious We’re marching against the foe; Undismayed, unafraid, Faith in God displayed, We into the battle go. 2 The bugle call rings clear, And echoes far and near Repeat the order—“Go! Fear not to meet the foe!” Our Leader grand and glorious Must ever be victorious! His righteousness and truth avail, His word shall never fail. [Refrain] 3 The battle is begun, And, ere the day is done, Our flag shall be unfurled And float o’er all the world! Then ev’ry land and nation Shall see His great salvation, Shall honor Him, His name extol, And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Topics: World Service Used With Tune: [Enlisted for the King]
