[Music]
The trumpets are a-sounding And calling for more volunteers,
The armies are in motion, Behold in front their officers.
Shout Oh! glory, for the battle is begun,
And I'll shout glory while the Israelites go on.
I love to live rejoicing, I cannot bear to live lukewarm,
Although there's many blames me for trusting in the Lord alone.
Shout Oh! glory, for I love to praise the Lord,
And I'll shout glory while I hear the gospel word.
I love to live a-shouting, I feel my Savior in my soul,
Sweet heaven drawing nigher, I feel the living waters roll.
Shout Oh! glory, for the glory is begun,
And I'll shout glory while the work is going on.
The time is fast approaching when all religion will be tried,
When Jesus with his jewels will ornament his lovely bride.
Shout Oh! glory, for my soul is full of love,
And I'll shout glory when I meet you all above.
I see the flame arising.--Had I the pinions of a dove,
My soul would then realize the wonders of redeeming love.
Shout Oh! glory, for there's glory in my soul,
And I'll shout glory while I feel the current roll.
The current is a-spreading and sinners coming home to God,
A-weeping and a-mourning, and finding favor in the Lord.
Shout Oh! glory, and my song shall never end,
And I'll shout glory to the sinner's dearest friend.
