Text: | Am I a Soldier of the Cross |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | ARLINGTON |
Arranger: | Ralph Harrison |
Composer: | Thomas A. Arne |
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 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 Sure, I must fight if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by Thy Word.
