Text: | Am I a Soldier of the Cross |
Author: | Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
Tune: | WE WILL STAND THE STORM |
Composer: | Anon. |
1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
Am I a soldier of the cross,
Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
Refrain:
We will stand the storm,
We will anchor by and by, by and by;
We will stand the storm,
We will anchor by and by.
2 Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God? [Refrain]
3 Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word. [Refrain]
