Step in Anywhere

Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: Sunday School and Revival #42 (1907) First Line: Would you be a soldier in the army of the Lord Refrain First Line: Step in anywhere, step in anywhere Lyrics: 1 Would you be a soldier in the army of the Lord, Fighting for His kingdom and eternity’s reward? Gird ye on the armor, take the Spirit’s mighty sword, And step in anywhere? Chorus: Step in anywhere, step in anywhere, There’s fighting all along the line; For soldiers brave and true, there is fighting now to do, Then step in anywhere. 2 Would you be a soldier? Reckon not too high the cost, Foes will be before you, and the path by danger crossed; Falter not for danger, he who hesitates is lost, Just step in anywhere. [Chorus] 3 Would you be a soldier? There is room for young or old; Will you volunteer for service, ever true and bold? We shall win a triumph greater than has yet been told, Then step in anywhere. [Chorus] 4 Would you be a soldier in a cause that cannot fail, Facing ev’ry hardship with a faith that will not quail, Knowing, for ‘tis promised, that the faithful shall prevail? Then step in anywhere. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Would you be a soldier in the army of the Lord]
