The Kingdom of Praise ‎#17

17. Keep the faith

1 To stand within that noble line,
That conquer sin with strength divine,
What greater fame could man desire?
What higher aim his heart inspire?

Refrain:
Then keep the faith, resolve to win,
To overcome invading sin,
Thy Captain, Christ, depends on thee,
To carry His flag to victory.

2 To be enrolled with those who fight,
With courage bold for God and right,
What fit applause can mortals bring,
To such a cause, to such a King? [Refrain]

3 All they who dare, who win the strife,
Shall surely wear the crown of life,
Their very names in heav’n are known,
For Christ proclaims them from His throne. [Refrain]
