Light and Life Songs No. 4 ‎#6

6. The Cross Leads On

1 Be ye not discouraged, children of the King,
To the heav’nly breezes, wide your banners fling;
Though the foe be mighty and the struggle long,
Jesus shall be victor, right shall conquer wrong.

Chorus:
The cross leads on, the cross leads on!
To certain final victory the cross leads on;
Fear ye not to follow where Christ before has gone;
To certain final victory the cross leads on.

2 Desert places all shall blossom as the rose;
There’ll be joy and singing where salvation goes,
On the horses’ bridles there inscribed shall be,
Holiness unto the Lord eternally. [Chorus]

3 Yes the crowning day is swiftly drawing nigh;
Then shall lambs and lions down together lie,
Ev’ry knee shall bow, and ev’ry tongue confess,
To the pow’r and beauty of His Holiness. [Chorus]
