[Verse 1]
There's another task to do
There's a battle to renew
And the Captain calls for you
Volunteers, volunteers!
Rally to the throbbing drum
Shout the words, "We come, we come!"
Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers!

[Chorus]
Christ before us, Christ behind us, Christ on every side
For the rescue of mankind, on to glory ride
Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers!

[Verse 2]
Who can dally in the dale?
Who can doff His unstained mail?
Christian soldiers cannot fail
Volunteers! Volunteers!
(We are in a winning fight)
(Shout!) Victory in His sight
(Oh, Volunteers! Volunteers!) Volunteers!

[Chorus]
Christ before us, He come behind us, Christ on every side
For the rescue of mankind, on to glory ride
Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers!
[Outro]
Volunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers!
