Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,952 hymnals First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Refrain First Line: In the name of christ the King 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?
Refrain:
In the name of Christ the King,
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be.
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas? [Refrain]
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? [Refrain]
4 Since I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word. [Refrain] Topics: Warfare; Worship Used With Tune: [Am I a soldier of the cross]
