Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,944 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Loyalty and Courage; Conflict; Victory 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? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, Or sailed through blood 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. 5 Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die, They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
