I’ve Enlisted in the Service (#148) | William J. Henry, 1903

I am fighting in the army of the Lord, And though dangers thickly round my pathway lie, I shall never faint or fear, for my Jesus is so near, I’ve enlisted in the service till I die. Refrain: I will press the battle on till the victory is won, And I reach my crown and mansion by and by; By the grace of God, I know, I shall conquer every foe; I’ve enlisted in the service till I die. Often do I meet with Satan by the way, And His fiery darts so thickly round me fly; When the shield of faith he sees, then he always quickly flees, I’ve enlisted in the service till I die. Now the world has ceased to be a friend to me, And the ones I most have loved now pass me by; But to Him I’ll faithful be who has shed His blood for me, I’ve enlisted in the service till I die. I shall never tire or give the battle o’er, For the crowning day is coming by and by; Then through all eternity I shall shout the victory, I’ve enlisted in the service till I die.
