609- Am I a Soldier of the Cross?

Christian Life: Christian Warfare

1

  • Am I a soldier of the cross,
  • A follower of the Lamb?
  • And shall I fear to own His cause?
  • Or blush to speak His name?

2

  • Must I be carried to the skies
  • On flowery beds of ease,
  • Whilst others fought to win the prize,
  • And sailed through bloody seas?

3

  • Are there no foes for me to face?
  • Must I not stem the flood?
  • Is this vile world a friend of grace,
  • To help me on to God?

4

  • Sure I must fight if I would reign;
  • Increase my courage, Lord;
  • I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
  • Supported by Thy word.

5

  • Thy saints in all this glorious war
  • Shall conquer, though they die;
  • They see the triumph from afar,
  • With faith's discerning eye.

6

  • When that illustrious day shall rise,
  • And all Thy armies shine
  • In robes of victory through the skies,
  • The glory shall be Thine.
