<p>The Son of God goes forth to war, a kingly crown to gain;<br>
His blood red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train?<br>
Who best can drink his cup of woe, triumphant over pain,<br>
Who patient bears his cross below, he follows in His train.</p>
<p>That martyr first, whose eagle eye could pierce beyond the grave;<br>
Who saw his Master in the sky, and called on Him to save.<br>
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue, in midst of mortal pain,<br>
He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train?</p>
<p>A glorious band, the chosen few on whom the Spirit came;<br>
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, and mocked the cross and flame.<br>
They met the tyrant&#8217;s brandished steel, the lion&#8217;s gory mane;<br>
They bowed their heads the death to feel: Who follows in their train?</p>
<p>A noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid,<br>
Around the Savior&#8217;s throne rejoice, in robes of light arrayed.<br>
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, through peril, toil and pain;<br>
O God, to us may grace be given, to follow in their train.</p>
