Sound the cornets! Bang the drums!
The Salvation Army comes
Down your street and in your town
Spreading God's good news around.
Shake the timbrals! Pass the word!
Make sure all the world has heard
Hope for all the Army brings
Everyone joins in and sings.
Chorus
Sound the cornets! Bang the drums!
The Salvation Army comes
Down your street and in your town
Spreading God's good news around.
Come and fill the Citadel!
Sing the praise, let voices swell
Join the faith and become whole
Feel the spirit fill your soul.
Clap your hands and sing and shout!
That's what praise is all about
Raise the roof with loud hurrahs!
Amens and hallelujahs.
Chorus
Sound the cornets! Bang the drums!
The Salvation Army comes
Down your street and round the world
Flag of "Blood and Fire" unfurled.
