Text: | Am I a Soldier of the Cross? |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | [Am I a soldier of the cross] |
Composer: | Thomas A. Arne |
1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A foll'wer 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 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
Amen.
