We, the Youth in Zion’s Army

Words and music by Benjamin Salisbury

First-Place Hymn

1. We, the youth in Zion’s army,
Warriors true of righteousness,
Heed the call to spread the kingdom,
Saints unite, and nations bless.

Chorus
Hear, O Lord, our declaration:
We are built on stable ground.
Messengers of Thy salvation,
May our hearts with Thee be found!

2. Free from Satan’s foul oppression,
Free to choose a greater plan,
Heeding ever His direction,
With Jehovah we shall stand.
Chorus

3. Guided like a steadfast arrow,
Scriptures witnessing the truth,
Hearing prophets warn of peril,
Onward, then, O Zion’s youth!
Chorus

4. Sound the trumpet! Christ is coming—
He who saves us from defeat.
We’ll prepare and serve Him humbly;
Christ, our King, we soon shall greet!
Chorus
