Lyrics
-
1. We are all enlisted till the conflict is o'er;Happy are we! Happy are we!Soldiers in the army, there's a bright crown in store;We shall win and wear it by and by.Haste to the battle, quick to the field;Truth is our helmet, buckler, and shield.Stand by our colors; proudly they wave!We're joyfully, joyfully marching to our home.
-
(Chorus)We are all enlisted till the conflict is o'er;Happy are we! Happy are we!Soldiers in the army, there's a bright crown in store;We shall win and wear it by and by.
-
2. Hark! the sound of battle sounding loudly and clear;Come join the ranks! Come join the ranks!We are waiting now for soldiers; who'll volunteer?Rally round the standard of the cross.Hark! 'tis our Captain calls you today;Lose not a moment, make no delay!Fight for our Savior; come, come away!We're joyfully, joyfully marching to our home.
-
3. Fighting for a kingdom, and the world is our foe;Happy are we! Happy are we!Glad to join the army, we will sing as we go;We shall gain the vict'ry by and by.Dangers may gather--why should we fear?Jesus, our Leader, ever is near.He will protect us, comfort, and cheer.We're joyfully, joyfully marching to our home.
