Am I a soldier?

Hymnal: LL1881 #155 (1881) First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?

In this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 3 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine, In robes of victory, through the skies, The glory shall be thine. Languages: English

As when the weary trav'ler gains

Hymnal: LL1881 #85 (1881) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As when the weary trav'ler gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives if, o'er the plains, He sees his home, tho' distant still; 2 Thus, when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 The thought of home his spirit cheers; No more he grieves for troubles past, Nor any future trials fears So he may safe arrive at last.
