“God’s trumpet wakes the slumbering world,Now each man to his post.The red cross banner is unfurl’d,Who joins the glorious host? Who joins the glorious host?He who in fealty to the truthAnd counting all the costDoth consecrate his gen’rous youth,He joins the noble host! He joins the noble host!“He who, no anger on his tongueNor any idle boast,Bears steadfast witness ’gainst the wrong,He joins the sacred host! He joins the sacred host!He who with calm, undaunted willNe’er counts the battle lostBut though defeated battles still,He joins the faithful host! He joins the faithful host!“He who is ready for the cross,The cause despised loves most,And shows not pain or shame or loss,He joins the martyr host! He joins the martyr host!God’s trumpet wakes the slumbering world.Now each man to his post.The red cross banner is unfurled.We join the glorious host! We join the glorious host!”
