A Soldier of the King

Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: The King of Glory #196 (1918) First Line: With all the world before me Refrain First Line: I want to be a soldier Lyrics: 1 With all the world before me, Beneath, around me, o’er me, I count the fading joys to which we mortals cling, And yield its fleeting treasure, For I’ve a greater pleasure, I want to be a soldier of the King. Refrain: I want to be a soldier, A brave courageous soldier; A soldier not afraid to shout and sing; I crave no other mission, This is my one ambition, I want to be a soldier of the King! 2 While fighting battles royal, I will be true and loyal, Because the Holy Spirit is the sword I swing; Of Faith a strong defender, I never will surrender, I want to be a soldier of the King. [Refrain] 3 As long as wrongs need righting, I never will cease fighting Until the battles of this earthly life are o’er; When to the end I’ve striven, And my discharge is given, I’ll ground my arms on Canaan’s peaceful shore. [Refrain] Tune Title: [With all the world before me]
