“We, the Youth in Zion’s Army,” New Era, Sept. 2001, 51
We, the Youth in Zion’s Army
First-Place Hymn
1. We, the youth in Zion’s army,
Warriors true of righteousness,
Heed the call to spread the kingdom,
Saints unite, and nations bless.
Chorus
Hear, O Lord, our declaration:
We are built on stable ground.
Messengers of Thy salvation,
May our hearts with Thee be found!
2. Free from Satan’s foul oppression,
Free to choose a greater plan,
Heeding ever His direction,
With Jehovah we shall stand.
Chorus
3. Guided like a steadfast arrow,
Scriptures witnessing the truth,
Hearing prophets warn of peril,
Onward, then, O Zion’s youth!
Chorus
4. Sound the trumpet! Christ is coming—
He who saves us from defeat.
We’ll prepare and serve Him humbly;
Christ, our King, we soon shall greet!
Chorus
