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?
Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace
To help me on to God?
| |
Sure I must fight if I would reign
Increase my courage, Lord
I'll bear this toil, endure the pain
Supported by Thy word
When that illustrious day shall rise
And all Thine armies shine
In robes of vict'ry thro' the skies
The glory shall be Thine
