463. We'll Be Heroes

1 We’ll be heroes, we’ll be heroes
When the battle is fierce;
When the raging storm louder grows
Will our courage increase
By the cross.

2 We shall conquer, we shall conquer
Through the blood of the Lamb;
We will ne’er retreat, though we die,
Till the conquest we’ve won
By the cross.

3 We are rising, we are rising,
And the foe shall be driv’n;
Then as warriors brave, let us sing,
We have vict’ry and heav’n
By the cross.

4 When we’re dying, when we’re dying
In the arms of His love,
On the wings of faith we’ll ascend
To the palace of God
By the cross.
