this is an old Salvation Army hymn i found in a book. lately i've been seening how Evagilism in the Church has not been very sought after and when it is it is not done well. this really fills my spirit and encourges me to do something about the lost and so i shall. i pray it will encourage you just as it has me: Soldier, rouse thee! War is raging, God and fiends are battle waging; Every ransomed power engaging, Break the tempter’s spell. Dare ye still lie fondly, dreaming, Wrapped in ease and worldly scheming, While the multitudes are streaming Downwards into hell? Through the world resounding, Let the gospel sounding Summon all, at Jesus’ call. His glorious cross surrounding. Sons of God, earth’s rifles leaving, Be not faithless but believing; To your conquering captain cleaving, Forward to the fight. Lord, we come, and from thee never Self nor earth our hearts shall sever; Thine, entirely, thine for ever, We will fight and die. To a world of revels dying, Heacen and hell and God defying, Everwhere we’ll still be crying: Will ye perish, why? Hark! I hear the warriors shouting; Now the hosts of hell we’re routing; Courage! Onward! Never doubting We shall win the day. See the foe before us falling, Sinners on the saviour calling, Throwing off the bondage galling, Join our glad array |
