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 ?
In the name, . . . the precious name, . . . Of Him who died for me. Through grace I'll win the promised crown Whate'er my cross may be.
2. Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While 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 to grace, To help me on to God !
4. Since I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord ! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word.
