A soldier of the cross

Lyrics

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, While others fought to win the prize, 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. Since I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage Lord! I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word.
Refrain: In the name of Christ the King, Who hath purchased life for me, Thro’ grace I’ll win the promised crown, Whatever my cross may be.
