[Am I a soldier of the cross]
1.
Am I a soldier of the cross,A follow'r of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?
Or blush to speak his name?
2.
Must I be carried to the skiesOn flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3
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?
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 warShall conquer though they die
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their 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.
