Verse One
7 -7 7 6 7 -7 7 -8
Soldiers of Christ, in truth arrayed,
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
A world in ru-ins ne-eds your aid:
-8 -8 -8 8 7 -9 8 -8
A world by sin destroyed and dead;
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
A world for which the Sa-a-vior bled.
 
Verse Two
7 -7 7 6 7 -7 7 -8
His gospel to the lost proclaim,
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
Good news for all in Je-----sus' name;
-8 -8 -8 8 7 -9 8 -8
Let light upon the darkness break
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
That sinners from their dea--th may wake.

Morning and evening sow the seed,

Seed times of tears have oft been found
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
With sheaves of joy and ple---nty crowned.
 
Verse Four
7 -7 7 6 7 -7 7 -8
We meet to part, but part to meet
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
When earthly labors a---re complete,
-8 -8 -8 8 7 -9 8 -8
To join in yet more blest employ,
7 8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 -7 7
In an e--ter-nal wo-rld of joy.
