War of the soul is invitation
Shout forth Jesus' name
His holy glory and salvation
Far abroad proclaim!
In the warfare of the soul,
O, my Lord, take full control,
O, Captain, lead! Tis Thee I need,
O, Thou lover of man's soul!
2
A people 'neath sin's vast dominion
Save, Lord, make Thine own
Thy people, of Thy Glory Kingdom,
Gather'd to Thy throne.
In the warfare of the soul,
O, my Lord, take full control,
O, Captain, lead! Tis Thee I need,
O, Thou lover of man's soul!
3
For strength to my soul's foe's dispelling,
Whom shall I entreat
Already Christ hath conquer'd, quelling
Satan 'neath His feet.
In the warfare of the soul,
O, my Lord, take full control,
O, Captain, lead! Tis Thee I need,
O, Thou lover of man's soul!
4
Remake me, Lord, hell's pains to sever,
New strength give to me,
That in that strength I might forever
Live in victory!
In the warfare of the soul,
O, my Lord, take full control,
O, Captain, lead! Tis Thee I need,
O, Thou lover of man's soul!
