Here below, on life's rough billows, 'Neath our Saviour's smile, Let us fight as Christian soldiers---- 'Tis but for awhile.
Life's billows cannot harm us. If our hopes be stayed On the blessed loving Saviour, Who our ransom paid !
2. Soon our fighting shall be ended, Soon shall warfare cease ; Then, in the celestial city, We shall reign in peace.
3. Sweet the Name on which forgiven Sinners love to dwell ! Go ye to the poor and wretched, And the good news tell.
4. Many, on their bed of anguish, On this world depend : Go and point them to the Saviour---- He's the sinner's Friend !
5. Oh, if every guilty sinner Did the Saviour know, Then we might exclaim with ghdness, " Heaven's begun below !
6. Let us, while on life's rough billows, Trust in Him alone; Then we shall with joy behold Him On His glorious throne.
