|
|
<p>Am I a soldier of the cross,<br>
|
|
A follower of the Lamb,<br>
|
|
And shall I fear to own His cause,<br>
|
|
Or blush to speak His Name?</p>
|
|
<p>Must I be carried to the skies<br>
|
|
On flowery beds of ease,<br>
|
|
While others fought to win the prize,<br>
|
|
And sailed through bloody seas?</p>
|
|
<p>Are there no foes for me to face?<br>
|
|
Must I not stem the flood?<br>
|
|
Is this vile world a friend to grace,<br>
|
|
To help me on to God?</p>
|
|
<p>Sure I must fight if I would reign;<br>
|
|
Increase my courage, Lord.<br>
|
|
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,<br>
|
|
Supported by Thy Word.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy saints in all this glorious war<br>
|
|
Shall conquer, though they die;<br>
|
|
They see the triumph from afar,<br>
|
|
By faith’s discerning eye</p>
|
|
<p>When that illustrious day shall rise,<br>
|
|
And all Thy armies shine<br>
|
|
In robes of victory through skies,<br>
|
|
The glory shall be Thine.</p>
