We'll overtake the Army.

We'll overtake the army,
overtake the army,
overtake the army,
  Yes, my Lord.

1. I've 'listed, and I mean to fight;
     Yes, my Lord,
   Till ev'ry foe is put to flight,
     Yes, my Lord.

2. Tho' I may fall, I'll bless His name;
     Yes, my Lord,
   I'll trust in God, and rise again,
     Yes, my Lord.

3. The God I serve is a man of war;
     Yes, my Lord,
   He fights and conquers evermore,
     Yes, my Lord.
