Tune: | [There’s a robe and a palm for you] |
Composer: | M. D. Kirkpatrick |
1 There’s a robe and a palm for you:
If you work with the day, ere its light fades away,
And are found with the tried and true,
There’s a robe and a palm for you.
Refrain:
Onward now, onward now,
Oh, be ready, brave and steady!
Onward now, onward now,
Onward, soldiers all.
2 There’s a prize when the race is run:
If you strive with your might for the just and the right,
Pressing on till the goal is won,
There’s a prize when the race is run. [Refrain]
3 There’s a crown which the Lord will give:
If redeemed you shall stand in the midst of the land,
Where the souls of the blest shall live,
There’s a crown which the Lord will give. [Refrain]
4 O be strong in the Lord our King!
If you trust in his word, that so oft you have heard,
There’s a song that you all may sing;
O be strong in the Lord our King! [Refrain]
