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?

Let us never mind the scoffs nor the frowns of the world,

C.M.( with Chorus).

For we all have the cross to bear;

It will only make the crown the brighter to shine,

When we have the crown to wear.

2 Must I be carried to the skies

On flowery beds of ease,

While others fight to win the prize, And sail through troubled 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.
